FC Bayern manage a split schedule as international stars depart ahead of the Augsburg match.

Quiet at Säbener Straße: FC Bayern halt team training until October 6

MUNICH, GERMANY - The quiet at Säbener Straße training ground at FC Bayern Munich continues until October 6, as head coach Vincent Kompany works to manage a disjointed squad during the ongoing international break. Numerous players have been called up for international duty, leading to the suspension of regular team sessions in Munich.

German national team members, who are only expected to participate in two out of the four UEFA Nations League matches during this period, are following individual training programs while based at the training facility. The remaining FC Bayern players, who are with their respective national teams, will remain away for the entirety of the break.

Midfielder Konrad Laimer, who is rehabilitating from an injury, remains in Munich to continue his individual recovery program. Team preparations for FC Bayern's upcoming Bavarian derby against FC Augsburg on October 10 will only begin once the complete squad reunites after October 6. Questions remain about how head coach Vincent Kompany should approach team fitness and player rotation for the Augsburg clash following the international break.
