"In Bayern Munich's 4-0 routing of Werder Bremen at the Allianz Arena on Friday evening, Tom Bischof was given his first Bundesliga start of the season, which was his first start for Bayern since the FIFA Club World Cup. He started in Bayern's 1-0 loss to Benfica in Charlotte back at the Club World Cup in what was an underwhelming performance from the whole team in the blistering North Carolina heat. His 90 minutes against Werder Bremen was a far different story."
"Joshua Kimmich was just getting over an illness, and Aleksandar Pavlovic was an unused sub in the 4-0 win over Bremen as Vincent Kompany had one eye on Bayern's trip to take on Cypriote side Pafos FC in the Champions League midweek. It could prove to be a tricky contest, and the Belgian manager did what he could to try to ensure he has fresh legs for the encounter,"
"Speaking after the match, keeper Manuel Neuer was full of praise for Bischof, noting that the 20-year-old has been putting maximum effort into the training sessions at Säbener Straße. "He always gives it his all in training and is a special player who can be very dangerous in the box. He has taken a good step with his starting debut today - for himself and for the team," Neuer enthused (via @iMiaSanMia)."
Tom Bischof made his first Bundesliga start of the season and his first start for Bayern since the Club World Cup, producing a strong 90-minute display in a 4-0 win over Werder Bremen. Vincent Kompany rotated the squad with an eye on a midweek Champions League trip, leaving Aleksandar Pavlovic unused and managing players returning from illness. Bischof provided a late assist to Konrad Laimer for Bayern's fourth goal and drew specific praise from Manuel Neuer for his training effort and threat in the box. Jamal Musiala's anticipated return in November will intensify competition for playing time.
