After crashing out of the FIFA Club World Cup following a 2-0 loss against eventual finalists Paris Saint Germain, Bayern Munich<\/a> earned themselves a respite before their preseason kicks off.<\/p>\n

According to @iMiaSanMia<\/a>, Bayern\u2019s summer schedule officially gets underway on the 28th of July with the opening fixture taking place at the Allianz Arena on the 2nd of August against an Olympique Lyon side drowning in controversy after being momentarily relegated to Ligue 2<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Bayern\u2019s summer schedule:<\/p>\n

\u2022 28 July: start of pre-season <\/p>\n

\u2022 2 August: friendly against Lyon (H)<\/p>\n

\u2022 7 August: friendly against Tottenham (H)<\/p>\n

\u2022 12 August: friendly against Grasshopper Z\u00fcrich (A)<\/p>\n

\u2022 16 August: Franz Beckenbauer Supercup against Stuttgart (A)<\/p>\n

\u2022 22 August: Bundesliga MD1 against RB Leipzig (H)<\/p>\n

\u2022 23 August: friendly against fan club \u201cRed Eagles Austria\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 27 August: DFB Pokal first round against Wehen Wiesbaden (A)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As a Bayern fan it is jarring that preseason starts in just under two weeks and the club is yet to make any additional signings despite the transfer window<\/a> being open from the start of July as well as for the first ten days of June. <\/p>\n

Of course, the transfer window runs until the 1st of September. This gives Bayern ample time to add reinforcements, especially to the attack. However, the importance of having new signings ready and available for preseason cannot be understated. After all, a prepared team is a stronger team that is able to start the season on the front foot. <\/p>\n

As it stands, Bayern are very much set to start the season on the back foot following what quite frankly has been an extremely concerning display in the transfer market thus far. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After crashing out of the FIFA Club World Cup following a 2-0 loss against eventual finalists Paris Saint…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":72009,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[931,1911,1920,1913,1318,204,10754,50375,50374,1914,50373,36016,29180,16495,21477,221,62,447,4147,67,132,68,1921],"class_list":{"0":"post-72008","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-and","9":"tag-as","10":"tag-bavarian","11":"tag-bayern","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-front-page","14":"tag-host","15":"tag-hotspur","16":"tag-lyonnais","17":"tag-munich","18":"tag-olympique","19":"tag-preseason","20":"tag-revealed","21":"tag-schedule","22":"tag-set","23":"tag-soccer","24":"tag-sports","25":"tag-to","26":"tag-tottenham","27":"tag-united-states","28":"tag-unitedstates","29":"tag-us","30":"tag-works"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114872978546917686","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72008","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72008"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72008\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72009"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72008"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72008"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72008"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
