Hoeness: Kompany back on Bayern bench in 2-3 weeks amid injury list
Post
📰 Hoeness expects Kompany back in two to three weeks, but Bayern's injury list keeps growing.
📌 Key points
🗣️ Uli Hoeness said on BR that Kompany will be back on the bench in two to three weeks.
🩺 Kompany has been absent since collapsing at the training ground with meningeal irritation.
🧤 Manuel Neuer suffered a partial tendon tear in his right foot at Mainz on Saturday.
🚑 Musiala, Diaz, Gnabry and Saibari are also out.
🔧 Bild reports Saibari had ankle ligament surgery and is out for at least three months.
📝 What happened
🎙️ According to NWZonline, Hoeness told BR's Sonntags-Stammtisch that Kompany would be on the bench again after the international break. The club has given no official return date, so this is Hoeness's expectation.
🏥 Kompany collapsed at Saebener Strasse about two weeks ago and was diagnosed with meningeal irritation. Bayern have played without him since.
📉 Bild and Sky reports put Gnabry (hamstring) and Diaz (small muscle tear) at four to six weeks each. Musiala has been out with a thigh muscle tear since late September.
📊 By the numbers
• Kompany return: two to three weeks (Hoeness)
• Saibari: at least three months (Bild)
• Gnabry and Diaz: four to six weeks each (Bild, Sky)
• Bayern league record: six wins, three draws, 21 points
🔭 Why it matters
Leaders Bayern must play on without their coach, key attackers and now their goalkeeper. The home game against Cologne on 20 November tests their depth.
