Bayern-Stars without Kimmich and Laimer
Today, the Bayern stars will play their last hard test in the preparation. The friendly match against 1. FC Heidenheim (18:00) is also a general rehearsal for the Franz-Beckenbauer-Supercup on Saturday (20:30) against Borussia Dortmund. BILD observed five stars of the record champion at Säbener Straße in the morning. In addition to Offensiv-Juwel Lennart Karl (18), Rechtsverteidiger Konrad Laimer (29), Vize-Kapitän Joshua Kimmich (31), João Palhinha (31), Weltmeister-Keeper Manuel Neuer (40) was also on the pitch in the morning. Notable: Mittelfeld-Ass Kimmich, who under the guidance of Reha-Coach Simon Martinello (41) etc. performed several sprints with different speeds, grasped himself during the exercises on the adductors. Questionable, whether the vice-captain will be at the general rehearsal in Heidenheim at all. Karl completed an extra shift with Athletik-Trainer Benjamin Sommer (44). On the program of the training group were also exercises with the ball. Cheftrainer Vincent Kompany (40) came after about half an hour to the training ground and observed the unit. Kimmich, Tom Bischof (21) and Neuer are officially not in the squad due to overtraining reasons! Also Laimer, who on Saturday after a duel against the Leipzig David Raum took a blow, is not there. Also on Monday, the national player only performed exercises in the gym and was not at the public team training at the campus, where the youth teams usually train.
Will Kane play in Heidenheim?
Also interesting is whether Superstar Harry Kane (33) will get a few minutes of playtime in Heidenheim. In his first unit after the WM-holiday in the framework of the FC-Bayern-Team-Days, Kane made a good impression. Together with the Frenchman Michael Olise (24), the striker created many scoring opportunities in the exercises. After the training, Kane explained in the Mixed Zone: „It went well. After a break of three or three and a half weeks, one is never quite sure how one will feel. It looked good. Now it's just about getting back into the rhythm.“ To get into the rhythm for the important first match on Saturday against Vizemeister Borussia Dortmund, a few minutes in Heidenheim would certainly help. Kane sits on the bench at the test in Heidenheim. By the way: Also Jamal Musiala (23), who trained individually on Monday, is also in the squad for the last preparation test. Heidenheim is currently 17th in the Bundesliga table (26 points, 6 wins, 8 draws, 20 losses). The team has won two and lost two of their last four games. Heidenheim last lost 0:2 to FSV Mainz 05. Currently, Christian Conteh and Sirlord Conteh are injured.
