The latest Bayern first-team news

15 degrees outside, spring-like sunshine and perfect turf at Säbener Straße – the training conditions on Wednesday afternoon couldn’t have been better for mid-November. Nevertheless, it remained quiet on the pitches with the majority of the Bayern squad currently away on international duty. Jonas Urbig took the opportunity to complete an intensive session with goalkeeping coach Michael Rechner.

It’s all quiet at Säbener Straße today. After an intensive week, it’s time for the lads to catch their breath and recover. Several Bayern players will be on international duty over the coming week, before Bundesliga action returns on Saturday 22 November with the home match against Freiburg.

Despite twice trailing, FC Bayern took a point from the capital on Saturday, with Harry Kane equalising in stoppage time of a 2-2 draw at Union Berlin. Find everything on the match here:

Our review

Welcome back, Hiroki! The Japanese defender was able to take some part in team training as the squad prepared to face Leverkusen on Friday.

Vincent Kompany and the team have been working to prepare for Saturday’s big Bundesliga game at home to Bayer Leverkusen. “The rivalry from the last few years is still alive in our squad, so it’s still a proper top match,” the coach said at his press conference on Friday. Here’s all you need to know for the game in our preview.

While the squad made their way back from Cologne to Munich, Hiroki Ito, Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala were all out on the training ground on Thursday morning. Ito has been out of action since March with a broken metatarsal, while Davies is working towards a return from his cruciate ligament tear and Musiala is battling back from a broken leg and ankle at the summer’s Club World Cup.

Bayern came out on top in an intense DFB Cup match away at Köln, winning 4-1 on Wednesday night to book their place in the last 16.

Our round-up

Tuesday was all about preparing for the DFB Cup second-round tie in Cologne. “Köln are playing at home, believe in their chance, but we’re taking a lot of hunger for the cup,” said Vincent Kompany in his press conference before working on his final preparations with the team in the afternoon.

The France international has been playing for Bayern since the summer of 2021. The defender was born in France and started his senior career at Red Bull Salzburg. After a year and a half in Austria, he moved to RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, where he played for a total of four years before joining the German record champions.

Our FC Bayern Fan AG and the sustainability team really got stuck in on Saturday at the Social Day on Campus! Together, habitats were maintained and biodiversity strengthened at the FC Bayern biotope and the southern Fröttmaninger Heide. This was the perfect way to combine sustainability and fan commitment. A big thank you to our partner Einhell for the professional equipment as well as Christian Hierneis and the Bund Naturschutz (Federation for Nature Conservation), who provided significant support with their expertise and experience.

Why do all this? The Fröttmaninger Heide is one of the most species-rich habitats in Central Europe - we at FC Bayern are fully committed to protecting it. Mia san mitnand. We are together. Mia san nachhaltig! We are sustainable!

FC Bayern won their Bundesliga match at Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-0 thanks to a commanding performance.

Analysis

Water is wet - and Harry Kane is at number one in the top scorer list! Along with Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé, the Englishman leads the Champions League rankings after three matchdays. Both world-class strikers have already scored five goals apiece. Kane also leads the Bundesliga rankings with an outstanding 12 goals after seven games, followed by Luis Díaz and Frankfurt's Can Uzun in second place.

Good news from Säbener Straße! On Thursday, Jamal Musiala was able to complete a running session for the first time since his serious injury in the summer. "My first jump a few weeks ago, then my first run on the Alter-G, and now on the pitch. I think you take a new step forward every week," said the 22-year-old.

Alphonso Davies (cruciate ligament rupture), Hiroki Ito (metatarsal fracture), Josip Stanišić (partial injury to the inner ligament of the right knee joint) and Serge Gnaby (groin isue) also continued their rehab on what was actually a free day after the Champions League and completed individual sessions at the club facility.

Nine points and a 12:2 goal difference after three matchdays - FC Bayern are also on fire in Europe's premier club competition! The next game on 4 November sees Vincent Kompany's side heading to Paris for a clash of giants against league leaders and Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain.

Fantastic news from Säbener Straße this morning: coach Vincent Kompany has signed an early two-year extension to his contract as head coach until 2029. “I’m grateful, honoured and would like to thank FC Bayern for the trust and the working environment they’ve given me from day one,” said the Belgian. “It feels like I’ve been here a lot longer and that I know the club well. It’s been a great experience so far. We’ve started on a wonderful journey. Let’s keep working hard and celebrate much more success!” 

The incredible run continues after victory in Der Klassiker!

A crucial victory for FC Bayern in the top-of-the-table clash. On Saturday evening, the Bundesliga leaders fended off an attack from their pursuers Borussia Dortmund and celebrated a 2-1 victory in the Klassiker showdown. But head coach Vincent Kompany did not dwell on the celebrations for long: “It all starts again from tomorrow and we have to improve our performance again. That's my focus – the lads aren't interested in how many points we have either, but in winning everything we can. We've gained this momentum through hard work, and we don't want to lose it.”

Bayern had their next training session on Thursday building towards Saturday’s crucial clash with Borussia Dortmund. All the international players were back in Munich, including Harry Kane after his brace against Latvia took England to the World Cup and his personal tally to 25 goals in 19 games for club and country this season.

Here’s how Bayern’s players fared over the October international break:

Germany (2 matches): Joshua Kimmich: 180 minutes, 2 goals; Leon Goretzka: 180 minutes; Jonathan Tah: 180 minutes; Aleksandar Pavlović: 176 minutes; Serge Gnabry: 152 minutes, 1 goal
England (2 matches): Harry Kane: 90 minutes, 2 goals

The pitch at Säbener Straße is filling up again as Bayern’s Germany and France internationals re-joined training on Wednesday morning after returning to Munich. Every international match involving a Bayern player has now finished for October, meaning Vincent Kompany will soon have his full squad available again to work with.

Although many players weren’t yet back in Munich, Bayern fans still got to see some of their favourite stars up close in training at Tuesday’s open session. Manuel Neuer and the squad made sure to take time for plenty of autographs and selfies with the supporters at Säbener Straße, while injured duo Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala also stopped by.

Check out the best photos from Tuesday’s training

UEFA have announced their plans from the 2027/28 campaign to introduce an official opening match in the Champions League that would see the title holders play at home on the Tuesday of Matchday 1. The other teams would then kick off their campaigns on the Wednesday and Thursday. It’s not yet been confirmed if that will also apply to the women’s competition.

With around a dozen players from the reserves bolstering numbers, Bayern held their first team training session ahead of Saturday’s Bundesliga game against Borussia Dortmund on Monday afternoon. Although several senior players were still away with their national teams, it didn’t stop the likes of Manuel Neuer, Sacha Boey and the rest from getting down to business for the week.

Most players are still away with their national teams around the world, but back in Munich Vincent Kompany and his team are starting to turn their attentions to Saturday’s Bundesliga game against Borussia Dortmund with training on Monday afternoon. There will also be an open session with fans at 10:30 CEST on Tuesday.

While it’s currently quiet at Säbener Straße because of the international break, Bayern players are making a splash all around the world. Luis Díaz was on the scoresheet for Colombia in a 4-0 friendly win against Mexico in the USA overnight on Sunday, continuing his impressive record this season. The forward has been directly involved in 13 goals (seven goals, six assists) in 13 matches for club and country. Keep it up, Lucho!

Joshua Kimmich not only scored a brace in Germany’s 4-0 win over Luxembourg on Friday, but also strengthened his standing in German international history. The versatile midfielder made his 104th appearance for his country, moving above Franz Beckenbauer (103) in the all-time ranking. Kimmich is now joint 11th together with Per Mertesacker and could already break into the top 10 in Northern Ireland on Monday. Tenth place is currently occupied by Jürgen Kohler with 105 caps.

Serge Gnabry and his colleagues in the German national team take on Luxembourg this evening (Friday). The FC Bayern winger is hoping to take his recent good form into the World Cup qualifier in Sinsheim. “Goals and assists obviously help attacking players to feel a certain easiness,” said the 30-year-old at the pre-match press conference yesterday. “You get into a groove and don’t worry too much about the possibility of not being picked in the next game.” Gnabry has made a strong start to the season in the Bayern attack and was also on the scoresheet in Germany’s recent 3-1 win over Northern Ireland.

Harry Kane has been recognised with the Bundesliga Player of the Month award for September. After seven goals in three league games last month, the accolade is more than deserved for the Englishman. Congratulations, Harry!

Harry Kane won’t be involved in England’s friendly against Wales tonight. “He got a kick in his last game with Bayern and it is too risky he gets another kick and would be in an up-and-down situation pain-wise,” explained Three Lions head coach Thomas Tuchel at his pre-match press conference. Kane is expected to be available for the following World Cup qualifier in Latvia on Tuesday.

Update from our internationals: while Konrad Laimer and Austria meet San Marino on Thursday and Harry Kane faces Wales with England at Wembley on the same day, Luis Díaz is gearing up for Colombia’s two friendlies against World Cup co-hosts Mexico and Canada in the USA.

The full overview of the internationals

"A few days and then I should be fine, so no problem for the national team,” said Harry Kane, the England captain, after FC Bayern’s 3-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. Kane limped off after a heavy challenge from Kauã Santos, but now he’s been seen in England training in good spirits.

The Three Lions travel to Latvia on Tuesday 14 October (20:45 CEST in Riga) looking to make it six wins from six games in World Cup qualifying. Before that, Thomas Tuchel’s side play a friendly against Wales on Thursday 9 October (20:45 CEST in London).

One day after the away win at Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayern paid their traditional visit to the Munich Oktoberfest. Organised by partner Paulaner, Konrad Laimer and Co sat together for hours in the Käfer Wiesn-Schänke.

There was good news from the training ground on Thursday morning as Josip Stanišić completed another running session at Säbener Straße. The Croatian international, who suffered a partial ligament tear in his right knee in the Champions League match against Chelsea last month, already returned to the pitch on Monday. The next target for the 25-year-old is a return to full training.

Bayern in first place! Even though it’s only a snapshot after two matchdays, a look at the Champions Leage standings should put a smile on the face of all Bayern fans. Thanks to the two wins over Chelsea (3-1) and Pafos (5-1), Vincent Kompany’s side are sitting pretty at the top of the league phase table. Bayern also lead the Bundesliga with five wins from five and a goal difference of +19.

At 11:43 CEST, special flight XG3573 departed Larnaka in Cyprus for Munich, carrying the players and staff of FC Bayern. After a little less than three and a half hours in the air, the Airbus A340 landed safely at 14:20 CEST. Having experienced temperatures of 28 degrees in Cyprus, Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Co returned to just 12 degrees in Munich. At least the team brought the sunshine with them as well as three points – it was also shining down from the sky in the Bavarian capital. 

Jan Christian-Dreesen was thrilled with Bayern’s performance in the 5-1 win over Pafos. “We have an atmosphere and spirit in this team – because it’s teams who win, not individuals,” declared the CEO at the banquet in the team hotel around midnight, continuing: “It’s a real joy and it’s good for all of us, it spreads across the whole club, which is great!”

In today’s session, Konrad Laimer, Michael Olise and Co worked up a sweat despite weather of 11 degrees and rain in Munich.

Bayern’s players trained in the rain on Monday as they now prepare to host Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on Friday. Hat-trick hero Harry Kane and the rest of the players who started at Hoffenheim at the weekend were allowed to finish a little earlier.

Bayern’s 4-1 win at Hoffenheim on Saturday kept them top of the Bundesliga table for the 36th matchday in a row. The last team other than Kompany’s men to hold first place was Heidenheim early in 2024/25.
