Kompany a doubt for Bayern’s Arsenal tie after virus causes leg pain
Vincent Kompany is uncertain to be in Bayern Munich’s dugout for Wednesday’s Champions League match against Arsenal after a virus affected his legs. He has been told to rest, leaving assistant Aaron Danks ready to oversee the team if needed.
Kompany missed Tuesday’s training and did not address the media after Bayern’s 6-1 win over RB Leipzig on Saturday. Danks said the infection had caused leg pain, but he did not know when Kompany might recover; reports linked it to an existing hip problem. Danks previously stepped in for Kompany during last season’s semi-final first leg against Paris Saint-Germain.
