First change

After a little over half an hour played, Kompany makes his first change, replacing Kim with Ito at the back. As was suspected before kick-off, the World Cup returnees are unlikely to be handed more than 30 minutes playing time each.

More on that Bayern team

Kompany has named another young side to face Rottach-Egern, but Kim, Ulreich, Palhinha and Bischof - scorer against Wehen Wiesbaden at the weekend - all feature. The Belgian also has several big names to choose from on the Bayern bench, with Neuer, Brown, Kimmich, Tah, Ito and Pavlović all among the substitutes.

Goals galore?

Bayern's latest pre-season friendly could be a high-scoring one. The Bundesliga champions have scored 64 goals in their last three meetings with today's opponents, winning 23-0 in 2019, 27-0 in 2023 and 14-1 in 2024.

World Cup stars return

Bayern's pre-season camp in Rottach-Egern has given fans a chance to catch a first glimpse of the club's returning World Cup stars, including Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito and summer signing Nathaniel Brown. Vincent Kompany fielded an inexperienced side against Wehen Wiesbaden at the weekend, but the Belgian's starting XI this evening may feature one or two bigger names...
