After an eight-day training camp in the Austrian town of Schladming, the Wolves squad departed for London on Friday morning ahead of two tough friendlies (one live on Wölfe TV at 20:45 CEST on Friday, the other behind closed doors on Saturday morning) against Brentford FC.

All of Bayern’s shortcomings this season, whether under Nagelsmann or Tuchel’s watch, would be compounded into Bayern’s first season since 2012 without silverware, but even then, they finished second in all three competitions. That wouldn’t be the case this time around if they lose out to Dortmund in the league after getting knocked out of both cups before the semi-finals.

Naby Keïta will not return to team training with the first-team squad, and will undertake an individual training programme instead. This decision followed a conversation between Naby, his agent, and the SV Werder Bremen sporting management team.
