Kompany Gives Bayern Players Extra Week Off – But No Break for Harry Kane

Vincent Kompany, now managing Bayern Munich, has introduced a fresh approach by offering his players an extended holiday during the international break. However, star striker Harry Kane won’t benefit from this time off, as he has joined the England squad for crucial UEFA Nations League matches against Greece and the Republic of Ireland.

Following a quiet performance in Bayern’s recent match against St. Pauli, Kane is eager to get back on form with England. He joins a lineup of Bayern players summoned for international duty, including Joshua Kimmich, Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sane, Dayot Upamecano, Michael Olise, Kingsley Coman, and Konrad Laimer.

As reported by SportBild, Kompany has granted the week off to Bayern players not involved in international fixtures, with training resuming on Sunday. This player-friendly move marks a notable shift from previous manager Thomas Tuchel, who often kept training sessions active during international breaks. Kompany’s decision underlines his intention to prioritize player rest and perspective, setting a new tone in Bayern’s management approach.
