Midweek friendly in Großaspach postponed

FC Bayern have been obliged to call off the friendly scheduled for Wednesday 8 August away to SG Sonnenhof Großaspach due to “unforeseen injury problems,” the club announced on Sunday. “We very much regret the cancellation of the match,“ commented FCB board member for sport Matthias Sammer, “if we’ve announced that the FC Bayern Bundesliga team is to play a friendly, the team that appears should include well-known players.“ However, recent developments have complicated the situation. “It wouldn’t have been possible [to field a well-known team], due to various injuries in recent days,” continued Sammer, “and the fans in Großaspach would certainly have been disappointed.“ FC Bayern will fulfil the fixture at a later date.
