Bayern Munich v Tottenham live: Latest score, result and updates from friendly tonight

7 min: Goretzka fires just over the bar as Bayern keep up the pressure early in this game. Spurs are struggling to break the press.

4 min: Michael Olise gets away the first shot of the match, from a free-kick, which he fires wide.

2 min: Brennan Johnson spent most of last season on the right wing but he starts this game on the left flank, with Mohammed Kudus on the right side, for now. I’m sure they will swap and rotate through the game.

Mathys Tel – returning to his former club albeit starting on the bench today – receives flowers before the match, which is something of a Bundesliga ritual.

The players are out at the Allianz Arena! Cristian Romero is captaining Spurs tonight.

Solanke’s absence, meanwhile, is a concern. The striker has not featured since mid-July and it seems unlikely he will be fully fit for next week’s Super Cup final with PSG.

Richarlison leads the line tonight.

A reminder of the big news today coming out of Tottenham: James Maddison is set to miss the majority of the new season after the club confirmed he has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.

Maddison missed the end of the 2024-25 campaign with a knee injury, but returned last month to feature in pre-season under new boss Thomas Frank.

England international Maddison continued his comeback with a substitute appearance in a 1-1 draw with Newcastle in South Korea on Sunday, but collapsed in pain with no one around him and subsequently left the pitch on a stretcher in the 86th minute.

Spurs’ worst fears have now been confirmed with Maddison set to undergo surgery in the coming days on his ACL injury.

Tottenham are without Destiny Udogie, Dominic Solanke, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin.

Without those players, this is about as strong a line-up as Thomas Frank could field, handing Joao Palhinha his first start.
