Davies ruled out of Bayern's trip to Wolfsburg

Alphonso Davies will miss Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga away match against VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday, head coach Vincent Kompany confirmed at a press conference on Friday.

“Alphonso Davies is out tomorrow. We'll see how long he's out for based on the scans. It's a muscular issue,” Kompany said.

Except for Davies and Serge Gnabry, Kompany is expected to have a all senior players available for the trip.

Following Bayern’s Champions League exit against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, the Belgian coach also addressed potential squad rotations for the final two league matches against Wolfsburg and 1. FC Köln.

“Looking ahead a week, I can tell you that my focus for the match against Köln will be on maintaining our momentum heading into the cup final (against Stuttgart, May 23),” Kompany said.

“If we make substitutions, they’ll be purely precautionary. If the players are fit, we’ll go on the attack and try to maintain our level of play. We’ve had little time to recover since Wednesday, and then we fly to Wolfsburg, so freshness is also a factor there. The guys gave it their all against Paris. We’ll see who looks fresh, so I haven’t decided yet who will play.

“I do have the strategy in mind, but I still want to observe the individual players in training. If someone is happy and gives me the feeling that he’s ready to run through the forest at 100 percent, with no second thoughts, then we’ll go with that.”
