Bayern Munich start training without Neuer

Bayern Munich started pre-season team training on Saturday with newly signed Raphael Guerreiro and Konrad Laimer, reported dpa.

Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was missing as expected for the 11-times reigning Bundesliga champions.

A second unit was scheduled for later in the day in the Bavarian town of Rottach-Egern where coach Thomas Tuchel and his players will train until Thursday.

Neuer is in his comeback from a lower leg fracture he sustained in December and trained individually, just like defender Matthijs de Ligt who suffered a calf muscle injury last month on Netherlands duty.

Full back Guerreiro and midfielder Laimer arrived on free transfers from Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig, respectively, and started work at their new club in earnest.

Also present were forward Sadio Mane as well as goalkeepers Yann Sommer and Alexander Nübel, who are all linked with summer departures.

Senegal's Mane has reportedly caught the eye of clubs from Saudi Arabia who over the past months have also signed the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.

Bayern are still out to sign England captain Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur and have reportedly agreed personal terms with Manchester City's Kyle Walker.

The training camp in Rottach-Egern is followed by an Asian tour July 24-August 3 with games in Japan and Singapore.

Bayern's first official match is the German Super Cup on August 12 against Cup winners Leipzig. They open the Bundesliga season a week later at Werder Bremen.
