FC Bayern are back for pre-season as they gear up for the 2023/24 campaign. Find out here what Thomas Tuchel and his team have in store as they go about their preparations over the coming weeks.
After some individual training sessions, medical checks and the obligatory performance diagnostics, Thomas Müller and the rest of the squad have their first full training session at Säbener Straße on Saturday. The team will then head off for their training camp in Rottach-Egern at Tegernsee until 20 July.
Serge Gnabry and the team will look to get back into the groove quickly to get their hands on more titles at the end of the season.
