Bayern Munich football team traveled to the state of Qatar today, Friday, to set up its training camp with the participation of newcomer Dutch defender Daley Blind, while the name of Moroccan star Naseer Mazraoui was empty on the list. that he will be absent “for the moment” due to a heart problem.
Bayern Munich said Mazraoui had been infected with the Corona virus, during his participation with his country in the 2022 World Cup which was held in Qatar, and subsequent tests he underwent in Munich revealed he suffered from ” mild inflammation of the pericardium (the sac that surrounds the heart) and which is being treated”.
It should be noted that the team’s left-back, Alphonso Davies, was absent from Bayern for several months last year due to a different heart problem. Marcel Sabitzer was also absent from Bayern’s Qatar-bound list due to his influence, according to Bayern Munich. Also absent from the 24-player list were Manuel Neuer, Lucas Hernandez, Sadio Mane and Bona Sarr through injury, and Frenchmen Dayot Obamecano, Kingsley Coman and Benjamin Pavard, as their vacation was extended after reaching the World Cup final 2022 with the French national team, and sooner or later the three will join the team’s retreat in Qatar.
Bayern Munich were hoping to have a new goalkeeper at their disposal when he retired in Neuer’s absence until the end of the season, but Hasan Salihamidzic, board member for sporting affairs, said at the airport: “We are evaluating the options available and we will make a decision in the near future.” .” Swiss goalkeeper Jan Sommer, whose contract with Borussia Monchengladbach expires at the end of the current season, appears to be an excellent candidate to join Bayern. Coach Julian Nagelsmann tries to prepare Bayern Munich for the second half of the season through the training camp, which will be held in Doha for six days. Bayern Munich stumbled at the start of the season, but bounced back well and cleared by four points, before resuming their career in the competition against Leipzig on 20 January. “We want to do our best and prepare very well,” said Salihamidzic.
