Müller Set for Whitecaps Debut After First Full Training

Having finished his initial full session with the squad, the former Bayern Munich attacker will see limited minutes while adapting to artificial turf on his return to competitive play.

Overview

  • Müller inked a contract with Vancouver through the end of the upcoming season after departing Bayern Munich.
  • He completed his first full team training on August 15, remarking that he had quickly felt at home in the squad.
  • Coach Jesper Sörensen confirmed Müller will be in the lineup for Sunday’s sold-out match at BC Place against Houston Dynamo, with his minutes to be carefully managed.
  • With no competitive action since late June, Müller and the coaching staff plan to gradually assess his fitness on the pitch.
