Kane says Bayern remain on track despite a turbulent week

Bayern Munich are on track despite a mixed week, striker Harry Kane said on Monday, as the club deals with the absence of coach Vincent Kompany and several injured players ahead of their Champions League match against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.

A week of highs and lows

Kane won the Ballon d'Or last week, three days after Kompany collapsed during training and was taken to hospital. Kompany was diagnosed with meningeal irritation and released a few days later, but he is expected to be sidelined for some time.

Kane described the period as an emotional rollercoaster. "It was a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions on every end," he told a press conference in Madrid. "A big high for me personally last week, some lows with the boss and the injuries. A lot of extremes. We had to deal with that and it brought us closer together."

Injury list grows

Bayern will also be without Ismael Saibari and Serge Gnabry, who were injured in their 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Saibari is due to undergo surgery. Jamal Musiala and Luis Diaz are also still out, recovering from their own injuries.

Kane's own afternoon against Dortmund was mixed. It was his first match back since his Ballon d'Or win, and he missed a penalty and hit the post during the draw.

Focus until the international break

Kane said Bayern must keep their focus until the international break later in November, when the club expects some players to return from injury. He also said he was "extremely close" to a contract extension.

"For now it is fight for every moment," Kane said. "We are missing some key players and our coach but it gives everyone an opportunity to prove themselves in this team."
