"Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany did not have to look at the schedule too long to know that from mid-November to mid-December, his team was going to have its hands full. When asked if he needed the winter break after Bayern Munich's 2-2 draw with Mainz 05, Kompany focused on the positives of how his team performed in the midst of a rugged stretch."
"I thought we came through this period pretty well, especially when you see other teams and how many players they're missing. As for us, we got players back from injury like (Hiroki) Itō and (Alphonso Davies) Phonzy. Once Jamal (Musiala) is back we'll have everyone available. Of course today was disappointing. We always want to win at home, regardless of the opponent - today we didn't manage to do that,"
Bayern faced a heavy schedule from mid-November to mid-December and navigated a rugged run of fixtures. The team performed comparatively well while other clubs missed many players. Hiroki Itō and Alphonso Davies returned from injury and Jamal Musiala is expected to return, which will restore full squad availability. The home match against Mainz ended 2-2 after an uncharacteristic day of finishing when Bayern could have scored four or five goals. Normal rest is expected to help remedy the team's inefficiency in front of goal ahead of upcoming matches.
