From a sporting perspective, this matchup is likely to be significantly more challenging than the previous friendly matches against Wehen Wiesbaden, Rottach-Egern, and Jeju SK. Following the victory over the South Korean first-division club, Vincent Kompany aims to gain further insights ahead of the season opener.

However, the Bayern coach still does not have all his players available. Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Dayot Upamecano are still on special leave following the World Cup.

In addition, Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, Serge Gnabry, Ismael Saibari, and Lennart Karl are out due to injury. The five players are currently working individually at Säbener Straße on their comebacks.

There’s also a question mark over whether Joshua Kimmich and Bara Ndiaye will play. Both missed the final training session due to niggles.

For FC Bayern, the match against Aston Villa is the final international friendly of their Asian tour. After returning to Munich, they’ll play additional preseason matches against RB Leipzig and 1. FC Heidenheim before kicking off the new season with the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup against Borussia Dortmund.
