"Not as often these days because Bayern Munich 's sessions are a little intense and he keeps suffering injuries during them but the legendary centre half can still mix it in the rondos. That gusto almost cost him last summer. Bayern's squad were boarding their plane for the Club World Cup as the manager was still having scans to ascertain whether or not he could actually fly after feeling something in training. Fortunately he was passed just about fit enough."
"It was well below sub-zero in Munich last weekend and this Bundesliga defence is ice cold - Bayern are Europe's only unbeaten side, with 10 wins from 11 - and Freiburg were hammered after having the temerity to take a two-goal lead. There were five different goalscorers in the 6-2 win, Michael Olise shining bright and a 17-year-old attacker named Lennart Karl already being likened to Lionel Messi."
Vincent Kompany still joins Bayern Munich training sessions intermittently but limits participation because the sessions are intense and he repeatedly suffers injuries. A training knock nearly prevented him from flying to last summer's Club World Cup, though medical scans eventually cleared him as marginally fit. Kompany says injury reminders influenced his retirement decision and that he enjoys occasionally mixing with players in rondos, though cold weather reduces that. Bayern remain unbeaten in Europe, winning ten of eleven Bundesliga matches, and crushed Freiburg 6-2 after trailing, with five different scorers. Seventeen-year-old Lennart Karl impressed, drawing Messi comparisons.
