In addition to Volland, Schreck and Bailey, Heiko Herrlich sent six of the remaining pros onto the pitch: Goalkeeper Tomasz Kucz, Lucas Alario, Karim Bellarabi, Dominik Kohr, Mitchell Weiser and Sven Bender. The 29-year-old, who missed yesterday's training session due to a pre-arranged examination of his right ankle at a specialist in Munich, was able to play the whole game. The team also included the U19 players Jan Boller and Ismael Devici.

The team managed by the coaching duo Markus von Ahlen and Iraklis Metaxas was made up of U19 and U17 players. The match was played behind closed doors.
