Overview
- Thursday's session at Säbener Straße was repeatedly halted as staff shoveled heavy snowfall, and Vincent Kompany urged players not to take risks.
- As of Friday, the Bundesliga home game against Eintracht Frankfurt is still expected to proceed as scheduled.
- Weather consultancy EWB forecasts temperatures of about 5–7°C on matchday, reducing the likelihood of problematic new snow.
- Operations include greenkeepers clearing the pitch, heating and high-tech grow-lights for warmth, climbers removing roof snow, and 50 external helpers on standby, with stadium approaches to be plowed as broader travel remains outside the club’s control after a 2023 disruption.
- Kompany said Manuel Neuer will miss the Frankfurt match, while goalkeeper Jonas Urbig is fit.
