Ballon d'Or 2026 Nominees: Kane, Mbappé And Yamal Headline 30-Man Shortlist

Harry Kane - Disappointing 45-minute appearance Kane generated three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Schalke.

Impact Kane had his playing time managed ahead of the Champions League opener, and he performed below his usual level as he was unable to capitalize on the chances his team generated in the second half against Schalke. The striker will likely bounce back to the initial lineup for future matches, with his inclusion as a No. 9 sending Ismael Saibari either to the bench or to an attacking midfield role. Kane has found the net only in cup play so far, so he'll aim to open his season count during the upcoming period of UCL and Bundesliga fixtures.

Luis Diaz - Lacks finishing touch in draw Diaz recorded three shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Schalke.

Impact Diaz stayed put in an otherwise rotated attacking unit but failed to take advantage of the opportunity, missing multiple chances near the opposing goal. He remains with one goal and no assists across his last four matches played in all competitions. Still, his talent and his team's dominance have allowed him to record multiple shots and create at least one chance in each of those games.

Joshua Kimmich - Tallies eight crosses in draw Kimmich had eight crosses (four accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Schalke.

Impact Kimmich took part in his side's passing display which saw them command 83 percent of the possession against the newly promoted squad. Additionally, the eight crosses and three chances created boosted his tallies to 14 and five, respectively, across two league appearances since the beginning of the 2026/27 course. He'll likely remain a highly reliable distributor while taking corner kicks from the left side, holding creative upside in every contest.

Alphonso Davies - Defensive effort in draw Davies registered two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Schalke.

Impact Davies was efficient in terms of tackling and individual duels as he recovered nine balls during the weekend's clash. The wide player also generated four successful dribbles and created a big scoring chance, which made up most of his attacking production in a fine overall outing. He has featured at left-back in the first couple of Bundesliga matches of the season, but rotation could reduce his involvement as soon as Nathaniel Brown, currently deployed in attack, returns to his nominal role.

Jonathan Tah - Diverse stat line Saturday Tah registered one shot (zero on goal) and three tackles (three won) in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Schalke.

Impact Tah benefited from a favorable matchup to push forward from his usual position, playing virtually as a midfielder and adding plenty of contributions to his clean sheet during the draw. With Bayern dominating possession, Tah led all players in the game with 127 accurate passes, and he also made a defensive impact by recording two last-man tackles. After coming off the bench in the opening game and then returning to the starting lineup for both Pokal and league action, he should now be well-positioned in the race against Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-Jae for spots in the center-back pairing.

Manuel Neuer - Secures clean sheet against Schalke Neuer registered one save and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Schalke.

Impact Neuer had a quiet outing as his team moved the ball away from his goal throughout the match, allowing him to stay unbeaten for the first time this campaign. Despite the limited times he has been tested, his early averages of 2.0 saves and 0.5 goals conceded per game reflect a slight improvement compared to his 2025/26 numbers. The next week will bring a double opportunity for him to produce in Thursday's Champions League duel versus Glimt and a subsequent league visit to Elversberg.

Jamal Musiala - Makes bench Saturday Musiala (head) is available on the bench Saturday against Schalke 04.

Impact Musiala is on the verge of making his Bundesliga debut this season after being involved in training throughout the week. Die Roten are rotating the side for this clash, but it wouldn't be surprising if Musiala sees time to get some much-needed minutes before the UCL opener against Bodo/Glimt next Thursday.

Jamal Musiala - Late call for Schalke clash Musiala (head) is a late call for Saturday's clash against Schalke, according to coach Vincent Kompany. "He's had a good and full week of training. He's doing well. We've already s...

Impact Musiala had already missed the DFB Pokal match against Osnabruck despite training well last week, with Bayern continuing to carefully manage his workload following his neurological issue. Ismael Saibari figures to continue starting in his absence if he is not cleared, and further clarity on his status should emerge after the final training session ahead of the game.

Impact Gnabry had recently returned to full team training as he continues recovering from a torn adductor, an encouraging step after an extended absence, but this update confirms he remains just short of being ready for competitive action. His continued progress will be worth monitoring as Bayern awaits his return to the matchday squad.

Jamal Musiala - Ruled out for cup clash Musiala (headl) will not be available for Wednesday's DFB-Pokal clash against Osnabruck, according to Sky Sport.

Impact Musiala will have to wait a little longer for his return despite making encouraging progress in training. The 23-year-old completed an individual program Wednesday rather than taking part in the team's match preparations, with Bayern continuing to manage his workload carefully following his neurological issue. Coach Vincent Kompany indicated Tuesday that Musiala had trained well during the week, but the club wants to wait for the right moment before bringing him back into competitive action. Ismael Saibari is expected to start in Musiala's absence, while a timetable for the Germany international's return to the matchday squad remains unclear.

Jamal Musiala - Could return for Cup game Musiala (head) could ultimately return for Wednesday's DFB Pokal match against Osnabruck, according to coach Vincent Kompany. "With Jamal, we have daily conversations, we haven't h...

Impact Musiala has made encouraging progress, completing full team sessions after previously being limited to individual work, though Bayern have continued to take a cautious approach following the brief losses of consciousness he experienced during preseason matches, along with a recent adjustment to his medication. A final decision on his availability remains uncertain, and his potential return would end a stretch of missing recent competitive matches. Even when back, the German playmaker will likely be eased back into action since Bayern have other options in his spot such as Ismael Saibari and the club will not take any risk with their young star.

Serge Gnabry - Remains out for time being Gnabry (thigh) remains out for the time being, according to coach Vincent Kompany. "Serge is not involved."

Impact Gnabry had recently returned to full team training as he continues recovering from a torn adductor, an encouraging step after an extended absence that had him working alongside Bayern's other attacking players without restrictions. Despite that progress, manager Vincent Kompany's comments confirm he is not yet ready to be included in the matchday squad for the DFB Pokal game and will likely still be a doubt for Saturday's clash against Schalke. Further clarity on his timeline for a competitive return should emerge in the coming days.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Jamal Musiala - Unlikely to return Wednesday Musiala is unlikely to be included in Bayern Munich's squad for Wednesday's DFB-Pokal clash against Osnabruck despite returning to full team training, according to BILD.

Impact Musiala has made encouraging progress and completed full team sessions Sunday and Monday after previously being limited to individual work. However, Bayern continue to take a cautious approach after the brief losses of consciousness he experienced during preseason matches against RB Leipzig and Heidenheim, while his medication has also recently been adjusted. A final decision on his availability is expected Tuesday, but Musiala currently appears likely to miss a third consecutive competitive match before potentially making his return.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Serge Gnabry - Returns to full team training Gnabry (adductor) returned to full team training with Bayern Munich as he continues his recovery from a torn adductor, according to Kerry Hau of Sky Sport.

Impact Gnabry has taken a significant step toward his return after an extended absence, completing the entire team session without restrictions and working alongside Bayern's other attacking players. The 31-year-old has yet to be cleared for competitive action, but his return to full training suggests a comeback is drawing closer. It remains to be seen whether Wednesday's DFB-Pokal clash against Osnabruck will come too soon or if Gnabry can return to the matchday squad.

Manuel Neuer - Concedes one in win Neuer registered three saves and allowed one goal in Friday's 5-1 win over VfB Stuttgart.

Impact Neuer stopped three of the four shots he faced during Friday's comfortable win. It was still a nice win, but Neuer would have wanted the clean sheet during the rout. It's not a bad result against a top team in the league nonetheless, and it's a good place for Neuer to build from as the season goes on.

AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE

Joshua Kimmich - Pair of assists in rout Kimmich assisted twice to go with six crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Friday's 5-1 victory against VfB Stuttgart.

Impact Kimmich was his creative best throughout Friday's clash, adding a pair of assists and taking five corners. He can play right-back and defensive midfield, and is equally good going forward in both roles. With how good Bayern are at controlling the ball, Kimmich always gets the chance to bomb forward and join the attack, which remains the best in Germany.
