Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany appeared at a press conference to talk about tomorrow's match against Borussia Dortmund in the seventh round of the Bundesliga at the Allianz Arena. On the players' condition:

He began his talk about the team's condition: "Everyone returned from the international break in good physical condition. Guerreiro suffered a bruise in the Frankfurt match, he will train today, and if all goes well, he will have a chance to participate tomorrow. However, Stanisic will miss the match."

Regarding tomorrow's match: "We have a great motivation for this match, the first against the second, and both teams are still unbeaten. We are very excited about this confrontation; Dortmund has shown a great deal of stability, and they have players capable of scoring at any time, especially Serhou Guirassy, who does not need many chances to score goals. They also have a lot of experience in defense as well as in midfield. They have diverse quality, and Dortmund is a strong team overall, but we will play at home, and we are very excited. We hope it will be an enjoyable match for the fans and a good result for us."

About Nico Schlotterbeck and the possibility of his transfer to Bayern: "I only see him as a competitor tomorrow. Of course, I know his technical profile well; he is a player who excels at progressive passing and linking play well with Guirassy. Building attacks from the back is a very important element of Dortmund's style. Other than that, as I said, for me, he is just an opponent this week."

He continued about Borussia Dortmund's development under Nico Kovac: "Now Dortmund has a clear system and a defined identity. When you take over a team in the middle of the season, you do not have enough time to rebuild it from scratch, but now they have become a real team. As for us, I think the opponents are the ones who need to find solutions against us. When we go to any match, I do not forget that the opponent also has many things to deal with."

Regarding the condition of Alphonse Davies: "Things look very good for him; the medical staff and (Fonzie) are working wonderfully together. I was hoping for his return in early January, maybe a little before that. Now it remains to see how his body reacts to the training load week after week. Things are going positively right now, and if he can play some matches in December, it will be a significant achievement for everyone."

About Harry Kane's statements, in which he said that Kompany took him to a new level: "He is the one who has taken himself to the next level. He has always done that, even when I was playing against him, and that is the mentality he builds year after year. Maybe it helped him that he has not won titles for a long time, which kept him with a constant hunger. He has recognized his role in our team and among his teammates, and he has shown his quality not only through goals but also in how he involves others in the game. We hope he continues at this level, but we will not put any additional pressure on him if his performance drops at times — we have great confidence in the team to compensate for that."

Regarding Kane's participation for 90 minutes against Latvia and whether he spoke with Tuchel about it: "I am not the coach of England or Germany; these are decisions for the national team coaches. We all want Harry to be in good physical condition throughout the season and to participate in the World Cup, as we have shared goals in this regard. No one benefits if the player is not healthy. He did not participate in the first match and was given enough time to rest before the second, so everything is fine."

He concluded about the possibility of equaling Dortmund's record of 11 consecutive wins in the 2015 season and whether that is a special motivation: "This does not concern me. We just want to win. Big matches against Dortmund are like a competition in themselves. It does not matter if you are on a winning or losing streak; all you want is to win this match. I do not want us to reduce it to a record number or three points — we just want to beat Dortmund, plain and simple.
