"It is difficult to say at this moment but there is a chance for him to still play this year," Kompany told reporters ahead of Bayern's DFB-Pokal clash with holders and reigning Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen. "But he will miss several games and to replace him, you know you cannot replace the goals or the player one-for-one. That's why he is a top player."
"We have talent in the team and need to solve it differently. We won't be lacking talent tomorrow but it will look different," Kompany explained. "We have many options. Thomas Muller, Mathys Tel, Gnabry, Olise, Leroy. I now named almost everyone. Obviously, Harry has scored 20 goals, but we have dangerous players in attack."
"We play the holders. One of the top two or three games in Germany, and I hope our performance will match the importance of the game," Kompany said. "We have played against almost every team in the league now. Leverkusen's squad is one of the best."
