Bayern Munich's Michael Olise and Aleksandar Pavlović were absent from the team's training session due to load management, with no injuries reported. The absence creates an opportunity for youngsters Allen Junior Lambé (17), Filip Pavić (16), and winter newcomer Bara Sapoko Ndiaye (18) to showcase their abilities.
In positive news, Konrad Laimer is training fully again, and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is working intensely in individual sessions as he recovers from a calf injury. Neuer, who is performing exercises with increased intensity but still without jumps, is targeting a return for the upcoming match against Borussia Dortmund this weekend.
