Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany insisted that his side are fully focused on their upcoming Bundesliga fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt and not thinking about next week’s crucial title clash against Borussia Dortmund.
The reigning Bundesliga champions are currently six points clear of second-place Dortmund with 12 games to go.
The two top in the German top flight will face off on February 28, but not before Bayern host Frankfurt and Dortmund travel to top-four hopefuls RB Leipzig on Saturday.
Despite having some players close to suspension for an accumulation of yellow cards, Kompany was adamant that they had no plans that would disrupt their preparations for Frankfurt.
“You have the BVB game in mind, but we don’t. I’m only focused on the Frankfurt game,” said that Bayern head coach.
“We know the situation with suspensions due to yellow cards, but you can’t plan everything. The only important thing is that we now win at home against Frankfurt.
“There’s no hierarchy, every game is important. Starting next week, we can all enjoy that ‘Klassiker’ feeling together. But right now it’s all about Frankfurt. The suspensions are not an issue; we have to be smart, but you can’t plan everything.”
