Werkself pre-season timetable for 2019/20 campaign

The 2018/19 season has just ended and the new campaign is already eagerly awaited. Head coach Peter Bosz will welcome his players back to Leverkusen on 1 July. As usual, the pros will start with the obligatory performance tests before two weeks on the training ground laying down the fitness and tactical basis for a successful season in the DFB Cup, Bundesliga and Champions League. Bayer 04 will then head off to Austria for the training camp in Zell am See-Kaprun in the middle of July.

The Werkself also have two friendlies to play before then. The first has already been arranged: At the end of the first week of training, the Leverkusen pros – as in last year’s pre-season – are again away to Regional League Wuppertaler SV. Other friendlies plus all kick-off times and venues will be announced as soon as they are known here at bayer04.de and also on our social media platforms.
