"Hopefully. If he makes it then great. Otherwise we'll do it with the guys we have. A late-breaking injury that knocks a player out of a league match at the start of a weekend certainly is the type of issue that could linger into the following week...but Kompany could equally be taking the opportunity to express his confidence in the players that don't usually get to play."
"The pre-game update had Vincent Kompany calling the issue nothing serious and adding that he did expect Kane to make it to the Champions League midweek clash. Nevertheless, there is probably not much to read into here. If Kane is actually fine, he should suit up on Tuesday. And if he can't...well, then we can panic. Except judging by how the squad played today? They'll be fine."
Harry Kane suffered a late injury during Bayern Munich's 4-1 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach on Friday, creating uncertainty about his participation in the upcoming Champions League first-leg match against Atalanta. Coach Vincent Kompany initially described the issue as minor and expected Kane to play, but later expressed less certainty, stating "Hopefully. If he makes it then great. Otherwise we'll do it with the guys we have." Nicolas Jackson started in Kane's place and scored, demonstrating Bayern's depth. Kompany may be expressing confidence in backup players or simply being cautious. Bayern's strong performance suggests they can compete effectively regardless of Kane's availability.
