In the past few days there has been a lot of discussion and speculation as to whether tomorrow’s second half of the season opener between FC Bayern and Borussia Mönchengladbach will take place as planned. According to current media reports, a decision has now apparently been made: The game will be played according to plan.
Julian Nagelsmann already emphasized at the matchday PK this afternoon that he assumes that tomorrow’s home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach will take place. He has adjusted the team accordingly and wants to play himself.
As “Sport BILD” reporter Tobias Altschäffl reports via Twitter, a (final) decision now seems to have been made. Accordingly, the Bayern players and the coaching team were informed “that the game against Mönchengladbach on Friday will take place as planned.”
