Tom Bischof (Bayern Munich)
August 2025

Bayern Munich’s new signing Tom Bischof, 20, has been sidelined for emergency appendix surgery just days before the Bundesliga opener against RB Leipzig. The setback arrived hours after Vincent Kompany confirmed a fully fit squad for Friday’s Allianz Arena clash. Bischof, who recently arrived from Hoffenheim and debuted in Bayern’s Supercup win, was unexpectedly ruled out following surgery confirmed by the club Tuesday. His absence is indefinite, leaving Bayern without the young midfielder as they launch their Bundesliga campaign.
