Squad Updates Ahead of Bundesliga Test

Bayern Munich pressed on with preparations for Saturday’s highly anticipated Bundesliga fixture against Hoffenheim, but were once again without their star striker Harry Kane. The England captain did not take part in today’s training session, sidelined by illness and raising questions over his availability for the weekend.

There was some positive news for manager Thomas Tuchel as Konrad Laimer resumed full training with his colleagues. The Austrian defender has been out since picking up an injury during Bayern’s 3-1 victory over Koln on January 14, but has now rejoined the squad for the first time since that match.

Bayern Munich approach the encounter with Hoffenheim in search of a much-needed win, having failed to secure three points in their last two Bundesliga outings. That run included their first league defeat of the season, which came at the hands of Augsburg.

Despite the setback, the Bavarians occupy the top spot in Germany’s top tier, holding a 6-point advantage over second-placed Borussia Dortmund. Hoffenheim sit third in the table, trailing Borussia Dortmund by a further 3 points.
