Story updated
The story in brief
11-second readThe former FC Bayern striker, who scored over 103 goals in 183 appearances for the club, feels Vincent Kompany's squad have sufficient cover for Harry Kane and rates them as "one of the top teams" to win the Champions League
From the source
MÜNCHEN (Bulinews) Roy Makaay is not concerned about the lack of depth at striker in Vincent Kompany's squad. The former FC Bayern marksman believes several players can cover for Harry Kane in the event of an emergency.
“I haven’t spoken with Harry [Kane] about it, but I don’t think he likes to be on the bench that often. Kompany has given him some rest [here and there] which is perfect," Makaay told Bulinews.com and other media at a round table event.
“If the game [result] is clear, you can almost give him the day off. I think [the lack of depth at striker] is why they signed [Ismael] Saibari as well.
