Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich, Bara Sapoko Ndiaye sit out training with ailments

Bayern Munich midfielders Joshua Kimmich and Bara Sapoko Ndiaye both did not practice in the final session ahead of the squad’s preseason friendly vs. Aston Villa per @iMiaSanMia:

Joshua Kimmich (slight adductor problems) and Bara Sapoko Ndiaye (knock to the knee) are not taking part in the final training session ahead of tomorrow’s game against Aston Villa.

Kimmich’s absence appears to be precautionary as Bayern Munich continue to carefully manage the midfielder’s workload during preseason, while Ndiaye was also kept out of the session as the club monitored his condition. Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany is unlikely to take unnecessary risks in a friendly, especially with the Bundesliga season fast approaching.

Bayern Munich will likely to provide further updates before kickoff, but both players remain doubtful after sitting out the final preparations before the Aston Villa tilt in Hong Kong.

The good thing is that neither issue appears serious at this stage. Below, are some pics from the final session:
