"When you have seven games in 20 days, then each player who is out for a week will miss three games. And then when he comes back he needs time to get to full fitness. It's not an excuse, I'd like to have everyone fit, but there are no long-term injuries. We shouldn't look for excuses. We should fight as we always did and get results despite the situation,"
"Bayern Munich does need some time to get healthy, but the loss against FC Augsburg was more of a product of poor performances than anything else. Kompany surely knows that and will look to get things right for a midweek Champions League game against PSV Eindhoven. If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast, Spotify, Apple, or any leading podcast distributor..."
Vincent Kompany was not thrilled after his team's 2-1 loss to FC Augsburg, which represented Bayern Munich's first Bundesliga defeat of the season. The squad has faced a condensed schedule, playing seven games in 20 days, and is coping with injuries and illnesses that remove players for multiple matches and slow fitness recovery upon return. Kompany refused to treat the situation as an excuse while acknowledging the need for more availability and fitness. The loss was attributed more to poor performances than solely to absences. Bayern will aim to correct issues ahead of a midweek Champions League match against PSV Eindhoven.
