The PK with Julian Nagelsmann in the live ticker.

• Julian Nagelsmann gives a press conference before the first game of the season against Eintracht Frankfurt.

• The Bayern coach has a new squad available - who gets the confidence?

• This live ticker for Bayern-PK (Thursday, 12 noon) is constantly updated.

Munich – there is tension in the air: After the turbulent transfer summer at FC Bayern, Julian Nagelsmann has to find new ways to be successful.

Also in his second season he is measured by titles.

Without Lewandowski and Süle, but with Mané and de Ligt.

The first half against RB Leipzig in the Supercup showed how well the “new FC Bayern” can function.

The second half showed how much work Munich still had to do.

What the starting XI looks like in the first game of the season against Eintracht Frankfurt is pretty open - Nagelsmann may reveal part of the answer at the press conference.

FC Bayern starts Bundesliga season against Frankfurt – new mission unclear

One ambiguity remains: Captain Manuel Neuer was not in Bayern training and may be out on Friday.

As the record champion announced, the keeper has a gastrointestinal upset.

Leon Goretzka, who will be out for several weeks after his knee injury, will definitely be absent.

Of course, it is also eagerly awaited which newcomers will be allowed to play at the start of the Bundesliga.

Sadio Mané certainly has the best chances.
