The preparations at FC Bayern are anything but outstanding.
In addition to the three defeats, there were also some injuries to complain about.
Will the next FCB star be out now?
Munich - The last week of preparation at Bayern * has begun.
The season begins next Friday with the first round of the DFB Cup.
Although it is "only" against the fifth division club Bremer SV, but the previous performances of Julian Nagelsmann * 's troops do not make the fans look euphoric at the start of the season.
The EM drivers got into the preparation late, none of the talents and young players could impose or recommend themselves in the meantime - and then Kingsley Coman suffered a bruised rib * in the last endurance test against SSC Napoli.
One thing is certain: the record champions are not yet under way! *
FC Bayern: next Nagelsmann fright!
DFB star with ice pack on the sidelines
The next moment of shock for Nagelsmann followed in Monday training on Säbener Straße *.
Leon Goretzka * and Benjamin Pavard, who both recently joined the team, crashed in an aerial duel.
The DFB star was initially lying, Nagelsmann walked, according to the
picture
, laughing at his midfield engine, rather his expression should have darkened.
Goretzka held his knee and could not get up at first.
Then he hobbled to the physios, got an ice pack and sat on the edge of the field while a training game was being played on the field.
Then he wanted to end the training, but Nagelsmann thwarted the plans.

The 26-year-old should run out of the pain.
Obviously, the injury wasn't that bad, because according to the
picture
, Goretzka should have done extra sprints with the other returnees Thomas Müller, Joshua Kimmich, Leroy Sané and Robert Lewandowski - and even ran reasonably well.
So take a deep breath for Nagelsmann.
A Goretzka failure would be very bitter, since Corentin Tolisso is missing its backup due to a corona infection.
In addition, the new FCB coach has to do without Lucas Hernandez (knee surgery), Alphonso Davies and Marc Roca (both torn ankle ligaments) for a longer period of time.
After the supposedly relaxed cup gallop on Friday, the Nagelsmänner will be in full swing at the Bundesliga start against Borussia Mönchengladbach on August 13th.
It will be
interesting to see
whether FC Bayern will find its way by then ...
