Two days before the Bundesliga summit against Borussia Dortmund, the new Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel was able to train with an almost complete squad for the first time.

The national players around captain Joshua Kimmich returned to Säbener Straße after the international break. The French around Dayot Upamecano and the Dutch around Matthijs de Ligt had already started training.

Also on the training ground on Thursday were Jamal Musiala after torn a muscle fiber and Leon Goretzka, who had to be replaced on Tuesday against Belgium (2:3). Both football professionals may also be an option for the top game on Saturday (6.30 p.m. / Sky) between leaders Borussia Dortmund and second in the table from Munich.

During his first training session with the Bayern stars on Tuesday, the new coach of the record German champions only had a small squad around professionals like Thomas Müller and Leroy Sané who were not nominated for international matches.

Against his former club Dortmund, for which Tuchel worked from 2015 to 2017 and with whom he won the DFB Cup as a farewell, it was important to set a first "exclamation mark". In the table, Borussia is one point ahead of Munich. Tuchel was signed on Friday as Julian Nagelsmann's successor. The former Chelsea and Paris coach signed a contract with Munich until June 30, 2025.
