During the October international break, Vincent Kompany had no problem with England's deployment of Harry Kane, a forward for Bayern Munich.
After suffering an ankle injury during Bayern's triumph at Eintracht Frankfurt two weeks prior, Kane was unable to play in England's 3-0 friendly victory against Wales at Wembley.
The in-form 32-year-old Kane reacted with a brace after England manager Thomas Tuchel, whom Kompany replaced at Allianz Arena, deemed him fit for Tuesday's World Cup qualifying match in Latvia.
"I am not the coach of England or Germany," Kompany said at a press conference before Saturday's Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund. The coaches have the final say.
"Everyone wants Harry to be in good shape. Our objectives are the same. If a player is not healthy, nobody wins. He had adequate time to prepare for the next game because he did not play in the first one. So, everything is OK.
The former Tottenham Hotspur striker has scored 21 goals in 13 club and national appearances this season, including his double for England.
Kane, the captain of England, recently gave Kompany credit for helping him "unlock another level" in his game.
However, Kompany maintained: "On his own, he is at his next level. That is what he always does. That is the mindset he established every year, even when I was playing against him and in the years that followed.
Perhaps the fact that he did not win a title for a while helped him maintain his hunger.
He is aware of his potential contribution to our squad and to his colleagues. He then demonstrates his abilities by including others in addition to his ambitions.
"There is no additional strain on him if he occasionally performs worse, but we hope he can maintain that. There, the others will make up for it. We have a lot of faith in our team.
Dortmund's visit will put Bayern's spotless record of ten wins this season in jeopardy.
With four wins from their six league games, Dortmund is currently second in the Bundesliga behind leaders Bayern, but Kompany assured his squad that eliminating their opponent's undefeated domestic start would not provide them with any additional motivation.
"That is not a thing for me," Kompany continued. All we want is to win. These championship matchups with Dortmund are comparable to their own cup competition.
"I mean in the sense that a five-win or five-loss streak is irrelevant. Your only goal in this game is to win. I do not want it to be boiled down to three points or a record. All we want is to defeat Dortmund. Is it that easy?
"First against second, both undefeated, is our motive for this Klassiker. This game has us thrilled.
"On the whole, Dortmund is a good team because of a variety of factors, but we are at home and are prepared for this match. I am hoping for a successful outcome for us and a fantastic game for the supporters.

Earlier this month, the Magpies fell 2-1 against Brighton, but the German international's incredible flick tied the score.
However, the summer acquisition, who has scored six goals for United since joining from Stuttgart in the summer, grabbed attention at the Amex Stadium with a superb improvised finish from Lewis Miley's low cross.
Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert of Bournemouth, Zian Flemming and Loum Tchaouna of Burnley, Chelsea's Moises Caicedo, Aston Villa's Emi Buendia, and Mo Salah of Liverpool are also on the shortlist.
Supporters of the Magpies may cast their votes for Woltemade by visiting here, and voting will begin at 1 pm GMT on Thursday, October 30. The winner will be revealed on Friday, November 7th at 1 pm GMT.
HUGE LISANDRO MARTINEZ UPDATE EMERGES AS UNITED PREPARE FOR FOREST ENCOUNTER
Manchester United receive a major boost as Lisandro Martinez returns to first-team training. The Argentine defender has been out since February with a knee injury and is now closing in on a first-team return.

Lisandro Martinez returns to first-team training, giving Manchester United a significant conditioning boost ahead of their Premier League matchup against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Lisandro Martinez has returned to first-team training for Manchester United, giving them a significant fitness boost ahead of their Premier League matchup against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Due to a serious knee injury sustained during a Premier League match against Crystal Palace, the Argentina international has not played for the 20-time English champions since early February.
However, Martinez has been speeding up his recuperation in recent weeks, and on Wednesday, the former Ajax centre-back was allowed to rejoin his teammates for training.
It is extremely doubtful that Martinez will play for Man United when they travel to Forest on Saturday, but the 27-year-old might return to the team for the match against Tottenham Hotspur on November 9.
Lisandro Martinez of Manchester United resumes training with the first team.
According to Man United head coach Ruben Amorim, "He’s feeling fine," last week. "I do not want to mention a single day or week because the knee is doing so wonderfully.
"I am not sure, but the team's training is about to begin. After that, Licha's rhythm will determine whether he places or not, but he is closer to starting training again.
The Red Devils will not be taking any chances with the Argentine because of the severity of the injury, and his return may be postponed until after the international break in November.
Luke Shaw's place in the starting lineup is now seriously threatened; therefore, Martinez's return is a significant boost for the 20-time English champions. Martinez is an expert in the left-sided role in the back three.
After joining Old Trafford from Ajax in the summer of 2022, the South American has made 91 appearances for the Red Devils, tallying three goals and three assists.
