Bayern Munich is prepping for the Club World Cup, while also exploring what moves it can make to bolster its roster. The German national team is licking its wounds and looking to regroup in time for Sunday’s third-place match.

This is what we have on tap for this episode of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show:

Bayern Munich will soon begin its preparation for the Club World Cup. What storylines should we be watching for?
Have we reached the point where the professional football schedule for club and international play has just become too much?
