Bayern Munich opened its training camp in Rottach-Egern, Vincent Kompany took the mice for a presser, and the squad hit the training grounds.
Let’s check out all the happenings…
Return of Stan the Man
Abendzeitung reporter Maximilian Koch caught some footage of Josip Stanišić, who made his return to Bayern Munich after spending last season with Bayer Leverkusen and the EURO 2024 tourney with Croatia:

While Bayern Munich has a plethora of options available at right-back (Stanišić, Joshua Kimmich, Sacha Boey, Noussair Mazraoui, Konrad Laimer), Stanišić has a chance to emerge at the position given the uncertain status of both Kimmich and Mazraoui.
Peretz in attendance
Injured goalkeeper Daniel Peretz was with the team:

Kompany still barking
Bayern Munich head coach has a distinct (aka loud) style, which the players seem to be embracing:
Vincent Kompany as usual with loud instructions in training. #FCBayern
Youngsters getting attention, too
While Kompany spends his time with the senior team, assistant coach Flo N’Galula worked with the kids:
