Hupu Football News — July 30th — German media Bild has provided an update on Bayern Munich's pre-season preparations.
Musiala to Stay in Munich for Individual Training
German midfielder Jamal Musiala will not join the team for the Asia tour starting August 1st. He will remain in Munich for individual training at Säbener Straße. After the team returns from the tour, Musiala is expected to resume full team training. If all goes well, he could be available for the German Super Cup against Borussia Dortmund on August 22nd. The club has high hopes for him, expecting him to play with greater freedom following the removal of the metal plate in his left foot.
Palhinha Suffers Calf Injury in Training
Today, Palhinha sustained a left calf injury after a collision with Kim Min-jae during training. The Portuguese midfielder received treatment after going down, and Kim immediately apologized. Despite swelling in his calf, Palhinha completed the session and later returned to the team hotel on a bike with a bandage.
High-Intensity Training Under Kompany
Today's training session was highly intense, which suited Vincent Kompany perfectly. During a drill, Kompany shouted to Kim Min-jae, "Min-jae, take him out!" referring to youth player Vincent Manuba. He then asked Kim, "Are you scared?!" The 11v11 training match ended 1-0, with a goal from Arijon Ibrahimović.
Additional Friendly Match Planned
Kompany wants to arrange another friendly before the new season starts, and the details are being finalized behind the scenes. The opponent, date, and location have been confirmed:
- Opponent: Heidenheim
- Date: August 18th
- Location: Away match, scheduled for the evening
Since some late-returning players will miss the Asia tour, Kompany wants them to get match practice before the Super Cup, so he requested this additional game. Sporting director Christoph Freund made multiple contacts and eventually found Heidenheim as a suitable opponent, facilitating this impromptu friendly.
