"Bayern Munich has a strong legacy of prioritizing their youth players and developing their skills from an early age, a legacy that most coaches support. A report coming out of Säbener Straße says that Vincent Kompany recently gave a youth player at Bayern the opportunity to train with the first team, a major achievement for any player trying to make their way to the top."
"The report, captured by @iMiaSanMia, mentions Filip Pavić, a 15-year-old center-back that currently plays for Bayern's Under-17 team, as well as captains Germany's Under-16 team. Following Kim Min-jae's recent injury, Kompany decided to let the young German train with the first team, perhaps as a measure of caution. Fans are speculating whether he could be a potential replacement for Min-jae, or even Josip Stanišić, who recently injured himself too."
Bayern Munich prioritizes youth development and gives young players early opportunities. Vincent Kompany invited 15-year-old center-back Filip Pavić to train with the first team. Pavić currently plays for Bayern's Under-17s and captains Germany's Under-16s. The promotion followed Kim Min-jae's recent injury and came amid an additional injury to Josip Stanišić. Fans are speculating about Pavić as a potential replacement for injured defenders. The DFL lowered the Bundesliga minimum age from 17 to 16 in 2020. Pavić will still be too young to meet the age requirement at kick-off for official Bundesliga matches.
