Kane, Olise and Upamecano likely ‘to be on bench’ against Dortmund | OneFootball

Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Dayot Upamecano will report back to Säbener Straße at the end of this week. Kicker reports the Bayern trio are most likely to start on the bench against Borussia Dortmund in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup on 22 August.

The suggestion stems from their limited preparation time, with only a few days of training before the game. The World Cup semi-finalists are expected to undergo performance tests before joining full sessions.

Vincent Kompany, meanwhile, welcomed five players into full training on Monday. New signing Ismael Saibari, Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, Lennart Karl and Serge Gnabry resumed team training after the squad returned from the Asia tour.

Bayern have featured in every Supercup since 2012, and this will be their first meeting with Dortmund in five years.

Back then they lifted the trophy with a 3-1 win at Signal Iduna Park in front of only 25,000 fans due to COVID-19 restrictions.
