Key Takeaways
AIJurgen Klopp, the new head coach of the Germany national team, attended Bayern Munich's training session on Sunday alongside manager Vincent Kompany.
Klopp took charge of Germany following the team's exit from the round of 32 at the World Cup, which led to Julian Nagelsmann's departure.
Bayern Munich confirmed that Klopp participated in the closed training session with Kompany, where the two spoke for about 20 minutes before continuing their meeting. They also discussed the condition of German players in the squad.
Klopp also met with Jamal Musiala, who missed Bayern's season opener and will not feature against Osnabrück in the German Cup on Wednesday.
Musiala was also absent from the domestic Super Cup match against Borussia Dortmund after falling ill during the preseason games against Leipzig and Heidenheim.
Musiala is dealing with a neurological condition that causes brief episodes of absence, and he explained that a minor adjustment in his treatment led to the incidents during those matches.
Klopp is preparing to begin his tenure with Germany in the UEFA Nations League next month, facing the Netherlands and Greece on September 24 and 27, followed by Serbia and Greece on October 1 and 4.
