Bayern Munich's new signing Nathaniel Brown, a 23-year-old left-back, participated in his first fitness tests and training with the club on Monday, July 28, following a four-week vacation after Germany's World Cup round of 32 penalty shootout loss to Paraguay. Bayern signed Brown from Eintracht Frankfurt for a fixed fee of €50 million plus €5 million in bonuses. Having already completed his medical after the World Cup, Brown skipped hospital checks and went directly to the Säbener Straße training center for body measurements and lactate testing. He arrived at the facility as a passenger in teammate Arijan Ibrahimović's car and received a warm welcome from fellow German internationals Jonathan Tah and Aleksandar Pavlović. Brown will join the team at Tegernsee on Tuesday afternoon for further training. Head coach Vincent Kompany has scheduled closed and open sessions. Brown may make his Bayern debut in a friendly against lower-league side Rottach-Egern on Thursday.

According to Bild, Bayern Munich's German internationals returned to the team on Monday morning to begin preparations for the new season, following a 3–4 penalty shootout loss to Paraguay in the World Cup Round of 32 and a subsequent four-week vacation.
23-year-old Nathaniel Brown also took part in the fitness test. Bayern previously signed the left-back from Eintracht Frankfurt for a fixed transfer fee of €50 million, plus €5 million in bonuses.
Brown Joins Training Directly
Since Brown had already completed his medical examination after the World Cup, he did not need to go to the hospital for checks like other German internationals, including Joshua Kimmich and Manuel Neuer. Instead, he went directly to Säbener Straße to participate in the second phase of testing, which included body measurements and lactate tests.
At 11:05 on Monday, Brown arrived at the Bayern training center's parking garage as a passenger in a car driven by teammate Arijon Ibrahimović.
During his time at the facility, he also met other German internationals undergoing tests. 30-year-old center-back Jonathan Tah immediately hugged him upon seeing him.
22-year-old German international Aleksandar Pavlović, who was training on the ground at the time, also shook hands with Brown. The left-back received a warm welcome at Bayern.
Training Schedule and Squad
After completing fitness tests on Monday and Tuesday mornings, the first batch of World Cup participants—including Neuer and Kimmich—will head to Tegernsee on Tuesday afternoon to join the team.
40-year-old head coach Vincent Kompany, who led the team to a double, has arranged two closed training sessions and three open training sessions at the Bikkenmoos training ground.
At 15:30 on Monday, Bayern held their first open training session in front of approximately 1,400 spectators. Young players participating included:
- 17-year-old Maicon Cardoso
