Two Bayern stars—Joshua Kimmich and Bara Ndiaye—were already missing from yesterday’s final training session. While midfield anchor Joshua Kimmich is struggling with adductor issues, Ndiaye had to scale back his training due to a bruised knee.

Manuel Neuer was absent from the 2-1 win against Jeju SK earlier this week. The Munich captain will return to goal against Aston Villa. The other World Cup participants will also get more playing time than they did against the Korean first-division club. „It’s a game where we’ll learn a lot about our team’s fitness. It’ll be a good game for us,“ said coach Vincent Kompany at the final press conference ahead of the match.
