Bayern Bring 15-Year-Old Filip Pavic Into First-Team Training With Kim’s Availability in Doubt

The U17 centre-back is gaining experience only, as DFL rules keep him out of match squads until he turns 16.

Overview

  • Reports say Pavic trained with Bayern’s seniors on consecutive days in closed sessions at Säbener Straße.
  • Minjae Kim rejoined team training after a calf issue, and Vincent Kompany said his inclusion depends on the final practice.
  • Pavic captained Germany’s U16s and has drawn notice for strong performances in Bayern’s youth setup.
  • DFL regulations require players to be at least 16 for Bundesliga match squads, which Pavic will not reach until January 2026.
  • German youth protection law generally bars minors from working after 20:00, so a 20:30 kickoff would require a special permit for any matchday role.
