Bayern Munich's final pre-season friendly came with some injury concerns, including one to Konrad Laimer, who was replaced after 10 minutes. The post ‘Things weren’t completely fine’ with Laimer against Leipzig, says Bayern director appeared first on SoccerNews.
The midfielder had just scored to make it 3-1 to his side in the 81st minute, but appeared dazed and confused just two minutes later before he was caught by new team-mate Ismael Saibari.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta (Picture: Getty) Arsenal are planning to offload Ethan Nwaneri before the summer transfer window closes after he was left out of the Community Shield against Manchester City. Nwaneri has been linked with another move away from Arsenal this summer after spending the second-half of last season on loan at Marseille. The 19-year-old is one of the most highly-rated players in Europe despite a disappointing 2025-26 campaign. The midfielder became the youngest player to ever feature in the Premier League when he made his debut for Arsenal in 2022, and established himself as a regular member of Mikel Arteta’s first-team squad during the 2024-25 season.

Nwaneri made 37 appearances for his boyhood club that term and was nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award while being rewarded with a new long-term contract. The 19-year-old was expected to continue to contribute last season but only featured in six league games before being sent on loan to Marseille in January. Arsenal bosses were confident he would develop in France but Nwaneri only made nine appearances during an underwhelming loan before returning to the Premier League champions. Ethan Nwaneri looks set to leave Arsenal (Picture: Getty) Despite failing to make an impact for Marseille, Arteta insisted Nwaneri would benefit from his time away from Arsenal and returned ‘looking like a different man’. ‘On the pitch, he didn’t [work] because a lot happened in Marseille,’ Arteta said after Arsenal beat Girona 4-1 in their first pre-season friendly. ‘But when you just stand in front of him, you sense the maturity and he looks like a different man. Arteta ahead of Arsenal’s Community Shield clash (Picture: Getty) ‘The experience on paper, it wasn’t ideal but I think he went through something that is going to help him a lot in his career.’ Speaking on Friday before the Community Shield, Arteta admitted Nwaneri could still leave Arsenal before the transfer deadline. ‘I want him to be at the club. But we have to think about the medium and long term,’ Arteta said. Nwaneri was left out of the Community Shield (Picture: Getty) ‘What is best for the player? Ethan needs to play football. If he stays here, we must be able to guarantee him those minutes, otherwise it won’t be beneficial for either side.’ Nwaneri has attracted interest from Galatasaray, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan in recent weeks and Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Arsenal plan to offload him after he was left out of the Community Shield. It is not clear whether Arsenal will sanction another loan move for the teenager or sell him in a possible deal with a buy-back option. While Nwaneri was left out of the Premier League curtain-raiser in Cardiff, summer signings Bruno Guimaraes and Christos Tzolis were both handed their Arsenal debuts by Arteta. ‘Christos [Tzolis] came early so that always helps,’ Arteta said. ‘Bruno [Guimaraes] only joined us last week, but he’s in good condition and we know what he will bring to the team. ‘He is a ball of energy. He has an unbelievable desire to win every ball. You sense he will drive the dressing room and when you bring someone with that competitive nature, it will only drive the boys.’ Asked about Arsenal’s plan to retain the Premier League trophy, Arteta added: ‘It’s very difficult, that’s why we haven’t done it in this football club. You have to raise the level from every angle.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Manchester City take on Arsenal in a blockbuster match for the 2026 FA Community Shield final. Manchester City and Arsenal meet at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff for the 2026 FA Community Shield final, with kickoff set for 10:00 a.m ET. The match doubles as a milestone occasion for City, marking Enzo Maresca’s first competitive match in charge of the club since replacing Pep Guardiola in the dugout. Arsenal qualified as reigning Premier League champions after their title-winning campaign last season, while City earned their place by winning the FA Cup in May, beating Chelsea at Wembley for their eighth FA Cup title in club history. Recent history slightly favors City in this particular fixture, with two wins in the last five head-to-head meetings between the sides. Arsenal, however, hold the more recent edge in the Community Shield specifically, having won the last time these two clubs met in this exact competition back in 2023, on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Both sides arrive with contrasting preseason form. Arsenal posted a mixed 2-2-1 record in their warm-up matches, including defeats to Real Betis and Borussia Dortmund, though they did beat Girona 4-1. City, meanwhile, looked sharper in their own preparation, beating Atlético Madrid 3-1 in their final tune-up, with Omar Marmoush scoring twice in that win. Just one week to go until the FA #CommunityShield 🤩Who will start their season on a high, @Arsenal or @ManCity? 🏆 pic.twitter.com/T8NcfFyx6Q— Emirates FA Cup (@EmiratesFACup) August 9, 2026 What happens if Manchester City beat Arsenal A win would hand Maresca a trophy in his very first match at the helm, giving City an ideal start to the new era and a psychological edge heading into the Premier League season opener. It would also snap Arsenal’s recent run of success in this exact fixture, avenging their 2023 Community Shield defeat to the Gunners. What happens if Manchester City and Arsenal draw The Community Shield doesn’t allow for extra time. Any match still level after 90 minutes goes straight to a penalty shootout to determine the winner, with both teams still credited with a draw on the official record despite one side lifting the trophy. What happens if Manchester City lose to Arsenal A loss would see Arsenal successfully defend the Community Shield and continue their recent dominance over City in this fixture, while also handing Maresca a defeat in his first game in charge — an inauspicious start to his tenure, even if the Community Shield itself carries more symbolic weight than competitive significance heading into the new season.
Manchester United boss Michael Carrick (Picture: Getty) Manchester United have put Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae on their ‘transfer list’ ahead of the new Premier League season, according to reports in Germany. United have had a relatively subdued summer transfer window to date, with Youri Tielemans, Andrey Santos and Karl Darlow the only first-team arrivals at Old Trafford. The Red Devils could yet bolster Michael Carrick’s squad further before the end of the summer transfer window, with the club keen to sign a new left-back to support Luke Shaw and another forward to support Benjamin Sesko. Manchester United are also believed to be open to the possibility of signing a new centre-back given Lisandro Martinez and Leny Yoro’s injury issues and the fact Harry Maguire turns 34 during the upcoming season. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. Bayern Insider says United have held long-term interest in Kim and have once again put the Bayern Munich star on their ‘transfer list’ this summer. The South Korea international, 29, has made over 100 appearances for Bayern since his €50m move from Napoli in 2023. Kim, who was heavily linked with Chelsea earlier in the summer before they signed Maxence Lacroix in a £52m deal from Crystal Palace, is said to be happy at Bayern despite losing his place in the team last term. Bayern Munich and South Korea defender Kim Min-jae (Picture: Getty) ‘There is some truth to reports around Manchester United’s interest in Min-jae Kim,’ German transfer expert Christian Falk said. ‘As I’ve mentioned with Bayern Insider previously, the South Korean international is on the list at United. ‘They’re always looking at his situation at Bayern Munich. That said, Min-jae Kim is very clear at the moment that he wants to stay at Bayern and he’s fine with his current role at the club. ‘He’s not in the starting XI at the moment, but he has a chance to get there if he’s playing well and, of course, if injuries strike. So, Kim wants to see if he can push back into the team. Chelsea summer signing Maxence Lacroix (Picture: Getty) ‘It’s not like he’s so disappointed that he wants to force a move, and this is a very good situation for Bayern Munich, as they’re fully aware they can’t rely on just two senior centre-backs for an entire season. ‘Having a player like Kim available is critical if they want to go far in all competitions – especially in the Champions League. ‘Remember, succeeding in Europe is a big target for Bayern Munich. Vincent Kompany made it clear that Bayern want to do better than they did last term. ‘The target is winning the competition. I can’t remember this aim ever being so clearly formalised by the head coach as Kompany did. ‘So, you see, they need a really good squad and they need high-quality options like Min-jae Kim. So, whatever way you look at it, it’s a good thing that he’s staying.’ Manchester United reportedly agreed personal terms with Kim back in 2023 but the South Korean favoured a move to German giants Bayern Munich. Maguire and Yoro are expected to start United’s Premier League opener against Hull City next weekend after Martinez picked up another injury during Argentina’s World Cup final defeat to Spain.
