Bayern’s new signing is leaving the training camp
Central defenders Matthijs de Ligt and Dayot Upamecano have taken a break from training at FC Bayern. The club did not give reasons; according to the TV channel Sky and the “Bild” newspaper, both professionals were missing from the session in Faro. According to the club, new signing Eric Dier left the training camp in Portugal because the birth of his first child is imminent.
The German record champions have repeatedly had personnel concerns in the central defender position this season. This is also why Dier was signed by Tottenham Hotspur in the winter. The South Korean Min-jae Kim is currently missing because he is on duty at the Asian Cup.
After injury: Bayern star returns to training
Serge Gnabry resumed running training a good five weeks after his muscle injury. The 28-year-old completed the session on Monday alongside Tarek Buchmann. The 18-year-old defender is currently recovering from a muscle injury. Meanwhile, the colleagues are completing a training camp in Portugal.
Gnabry sustained the injury in the 5-1 defeat in Frankfurt. He’s having a hard time finding his way into this season and often didn’t get a chance against his competitors Kingsley Coman and Leroy Sané. The professional was out for several weeks in September and October due to a broken forearm.
Gnabry has only played in five Bundesliga games and has not yet recorded a goal or an assist. In the previous season he contributed 14 goals and seven assists to Munich’s championship title in the Bundesliga.
Kane on second career: “I was thinking about the NFL”
Harry Kane can imagine a second career in the National Football League. In an interview with “Kicker,” the FC Bayern Munich striker said he wanted to play football “as long as my body and mind allow.” He likes the USA and spends a lot of time there. “But I’ve also thought about the NFL and that I might want to continue there,” said Kane.
Kane moved from Tottenham Hotspur to the German football record champions last summer. The NFL has been hosting main round games in Tottenham Stadium since 2019. The captain of the English national team can also watch the NFL up close in Munich: the Carolina Panthers will play in the Allianz Arena next season. The opponent has not yet been determined.
