Kompany Prepares Bayern Munich for Augsburg Bundesliga Clash

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany is preparing his team for a Bundesliga match against FC Augsburg, with the coach warning that the short away trip requires full focus after Augsburg defeated Bayern last season.

According to Bavarian Football Works, Bayern will face Augsburg in the 2026/27 Bundesliga campaign, with Kompany aware of the hosts' recent form under manager Manuel Baum and their ability to threaten opponents.

"It’s a very important game. Our only Bundesliga loss last season came against Augsburg. It’s still a derby, and it’s an away game.

Augsburg are known for their compact formation and their ability to be very dangerous on the ball. They have a lot of individual quality. They’ve started the season with momentum.

It’s a derby, the fans are looking forward to it, and so are we," said Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich head coach.

Kompany also addressed Bayern's squad condition ahead of the match. The team returned from international duty largely fit, while Jamal Musiala remains unavailable because of a minor muscle tear in his right thigh, according to Bavarian Football Works.

"Jamal is out. Otherwise everyone else returned fit from the national teams," said Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich head coach.

Kompany added that Musiala's recovery from setbacks could become an important part of his career. The midfielder's return timeline was not provided, but the coach expressed confidence in his future performances.

"I can relate to [Musiala’s] story of setbacks; I’ve experienced that many times in my career as well. Coming back from setbacks is a strength. I hope he can enjoy playing football again over the coming years.

But when you make a strong comeback, it’s something that stays with you for the rest of your life. The whole team is delighted whenever he scores a goal. He’ll continue to do so, without a doubt," said Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich head coach.

Bayern also have a Champions League match against Viking scheduled for Tuesday, leaving Kompany with lineup decisions as he manages the squad during a busy schedule, according to Bavarian Football Works.
