Harry Kane was named on the bench for a second straight match as Bayern Munich continued to manage his recovery from a calf injury. Vincent Kompany again kept faith with his in-form alternative, signalling a cautious approach over Bayern’s key striker. Kane had already missed out on a start in midweek and was again held back as Bayern dealt with multiple absences across the squad. Injuries to Manuel Neuer, Jonas Urbig, Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito also forced Kompany into wider changes for the trip.

Neuer sidelined by thigh tear as Urbig handed final 2025 Bayern audition

Bayern confirmed captain Manuel Neuer has suffered a muscle tear in his right thigh, sustained late in the 2-2 draw with Mainz, ruling the 39-year-old out of their final match of 2025 and reopening the door for summer recruit Jonas Urbig to start away at Heidenheim. Neuer, who grimaced through the closing stages as headers from Kacper Potulski and Lee Jae-sung punished rare defensive lapses, underwent tests in Munich on Monday that indicated several weeks out. The winter break limits the damage, with Bayern expecting him back for January as Urbig gains a third league start.
