Bayern Munich stars Michael Olise and Aleksandar Pavlović sat out the team's training session for load management ahead of the upcoming Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund. The absences are not injury-related, with both players considered indispensable to the starting lineup. Meanwhile, young talents Allen Junior Lambé (17), Filip Pavić (16), and winter signing Bara Sapoko Ndiaye (18) were given opportunities to showcase their abilities.
Elsewhere, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is working intensively in individual training to be fit for the crucial match against Dortmund. The 34-year-old is still avoiding jumps and aerial maneuvers due to his calf injury but is gradually increasing exercise intensity as he targets a return to action. Konrad Laimer has been training fully again, providing a boost to the squad's midfield options.
