Hoeness: Kompany back on Bayern bench in 2-3 weeks amid injury list
Post
๐ฐ Hoeness expects Kompany back in two to three weeks, but Bayern's injury list keeps growing.
๐ Key points
๐ฃ๏ธ Uli Hoeness said on BR that Kompany will be back on the bench in two to three weeks.
๐ฉบ Kompany has been absent since collapsing at the training ground with meningeal irritation.
๐งค Manuel Neuer suffered a partial tendon tear in his right foot at Mainz on Saturday.
๐ Musiala, Diaz, Gnabry and Saibari are also out.
๐ง Bild reports Saibari had ankle ligament surgery and is out for at least three months.
๐ What happened
๐๏ธ 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.
๐ฅ Kompany collapsed at Saebener Strasse about two weeks ago and was diagnosed with meningeal irritation. Bayern have played without him since.
๐ 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.
๐ By the numbers
โข Kompany return: two to three weeks (Hoeness)
โข Saibari: at least three months (Bild)
โข Gnabry and Diaz: four to six weeks each (Bild, Sky)
โข Bayern league record: six wins, three draws, 21 points
๐ญ 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.
