Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has said the team are in good shape despite the difficulties they have faced in recent days.
Fanat.az reports that the news was carried by Reuters.
According to the source, the Munich side have suffered several major setbacks as they prepare to face Atletico Madrid in the league phase of the Champions League.
Kane said the past week had brought him great joy personally, but difficulties for the team. Just three days after the England international won the Ballon d’Or, Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany was admitted to hospital after feeling unwell during training. The Belgian, who has since been discharged, is expected to spend some time away from the team.
Serge Gnabry and Ismael Saibari have also been ruled out through injury. Jamal Musiala and Luis Diaz are continuing their recovery from injuries.
Speaking at a press conference, Kane reflected on recent events:
“The last few days have been a real emotional rollercoaster. Last week brought me great joy personally, but our head coach’s situation and the players’ injuries have had a negative impact on the team. We have experienced very different emotions. We have had to deal with all of this, and I think these events have brought us even closer together as a team.”
The England striker also stressed that the absence of injured players had created opportunities for others:
“Right now, we have to fight for every moment. We are without key players and our head coach. But this situation gives other players in the squad a chance to show what they can do.”
Kane also highlighted the importance of staying focused until the upcoming international break. He said some of the injured players were expected to return to the squad during that period.
Bayern Munich visit Atletico Madrid today in the UEFA Champions League. The match will take place in Madrid.
