Kompany relishing 'special game' as top two clash
Vincent Kompany is relishing a "special game" when Bayern Munich faces Eintracht Frankfurt in a battle of the Bundesliga's top two teams.
Bayern tops the table with 13 points after its first five games, with Eintracht just a point behind after recovering from losing its opener with four straight wins.
However, Kompany's side travels to Deutsche Bank Park seeking a response after two winless games.
After its perfect start to the Bundesliga campaign was ended by a 1-1 draw with defending champion Bayer Leverkusen, it went down 1-0 to Aston Villa in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.
Nevertheless, Kompany is only looking forward.
"It is a special game in Frankfurt against a very tough team," he said. "They have a lot of young players with a lot of talent, so the team can grow.
"For us, it is a normal game. We have to get our points and keep going in the Bundesliga. I am only focused on the next game.
"It is always important after every game, win or lose, to say the game is now behind us and now comes the next game. We have a lot to take into our next game and that should be the reason for our success."
Once again, Bayern will be without Jamal Musiala, who remains sidelined with a hip injury, and Kompany hopes to have the Germany attacking midfielder available as soon as possible.
"We know how good and how important Jamal is for the club and Germany," the Bayern head coach added. "He is a young player and our total priority is to get him back fit and stay fit."
