Bayern Munich aims to strengthen their lead in the Bundesliga by facing struggling Wolfsburg at the Allianz Arena this Sunday.

Kompany’s team finished 2025 on a positive note, maintaining an unbeaten league record while dominating various tournaments. They defeated FC Heidenheim 4-0 on December 21 and started the new year strongly with a 5-0 win against Salzburg in a friendly. Bayern currently leads the Bundesliga with 41 points from 15 matches.

The club has managed its injury problems well leading up to the league’s winter restart. Manuel Neuer, who recovered from a thigh injury sustained in the 2-2 draw against Mainz 05, is set to play on Sunday after returning to full training this week.

Alphonso Davies has made a significant comeback after a long recovery from severe knee injuries that kept him off the field for over eight months. He returned on December 9 against Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League and has since played in league games. Kompany praised Davies’s dedication during his rehab, although he is currently ill and missed training along with Sacha Boey, who is also unwell.

Joshua Kimmich’s status is uncertain due to an ankle injury from mid-November, which may prevent him from playing against Wolfsburg. He is currently limited to individual workouts as the club focuses on his long-term fitness. Goretzka and Pavlovic are expected to fill in the midfield if Kimmich cannot play.

Jamal Musiala is close to fully recovering from a fibula fracture and ankle dislocation suffered at July’s Club World Cup. At 22, he has resumed group training and aims for an early January comeback, but Kompany is cautious about his return timeline. Nicolas Jackson will miss the match due to commitments with the Africa Cup of Nations.
