No wonder that the focus in training on Monday afternoon – as was the case with yesterday's session – was on recovery. After reviewing the Wolfsburg match, the squad spent 45 minutes on the training ground in wet and cold conditions. The session covered passing and heading drills and finished with the keepie-uppie competition with the group of Lucas Alario, Charles Aránguiz, Leon Bailey, Julian Brandt, Aleksandar Dragovic, Sam Schreck, Isaac Kiese Thelin and Leon Bailey clearly enjoying that winning feeling again.
Wendell plus Lars and Sven Bender missed the session. While the Brazilian is still receiving treatment on a thigh muscle injury picked up in the Wolfsburg game, the Bender twins completed an individual session in the gym at the BayArena.
All eyes will be focused on preparing for the tough encounter with FC Bayern, starting with the final open training session on Tuesday (10.30 CET). And it is fair to expect there will be a repeat of last Tuesday with a significantly more testing workout...

The Bayer 04 U19 team lost 1-0 to Inter Milan on the sixth and final matchday in the league phase of the UEFA Youth League 2024/25. The only goal of the game was scored just after the hour mark.

There is faint hope looking to several games to follow where results are needed to go the way of the Werkself.
