Serge Gnabry - Released from Germany duty Gnabry will not travel with Germany for the upcoming Nations League clash against Greece and has left the national team camp early for workload management, according to Sky Sport D...

Impact Gnabry is fully fit and is simply being given additional rest after featuring in each of Germany's first three Nations League matches. The attacker most recently featured in the win over Serbia and even wore the captain's armband during the contest. His early return to Bayern should allow him to recover ahead of the resumption of club action, with Felix Keidel expected to take his place in Germany's 23-man squad against Greece.

Konrad Laimer - Logs 45 minutes for national team Laimer (groin) featured as a substitute in Thursday's UEFA Nations League draw against Ireland.

Impact Laimer replaced Nicolas Seiwald at the beginning of the second half Thursday, marking his return to the pitch following a 20-day absence. The Bayern Munich man has operated in midfield for his country, even though he's currently settled in a full-back role at the club level. He'll retain tackling and playmaking upside as long as he's available, with his presence limiting Josip Stanisic's involvement in future weeks.

Harry Kane - Seals England victory Kane scored England's second goal in Tuesday's 2-0 Nations League win over Czechia, finding the net in the 69th minute, according to the club.

Impact Kane sealed the victory with a close-range finish after Anthony Gordon had given England the lead shortly after halftime. The striker has now scored in both Nations League matches during the international break, having also found the net in the 3-2 loss to Spain. Kane has carried his scoring form between club and country, recording three goals and one assist across four Bundesliga appearances for Bayern Munich this season.

Josip Stanisic - Ruled out with viral illness Stanisic is unavailable for Tuesday's Nations League match against Spain due to illness, according to Index HR.

Impact Stanisic had already been absent from Monday's final training session, with coach Slaven Bilic noting several players had been dealing with health issues including headaches and general weakness. His status for Croatia's remaining matches against England on Oct. 3 and a rematch with Spain three days later remains to be seen, and it follows a strong recent stretch at club level in which he moved into Bayern's starting XI at right back with three chances created and five crosses across his last three Bundesliga appearances.

Michael Olise - Scores winner against Belgium Olise came off the bench for 13 minutes and scored the winner in Monday's 1-0 win over Belgium, finishing a solo run with a strike to the bottom left corner.

Impact Olise remains in incredible form, having scored six goals and delivered three assists across his last five matches for club and country, including a hat trick with an assist in the recent 7-0 win over Union Berlin. His scoring touch continues to translate seamlessly onto the international stage as he keeps up one of the hottest stretches of his career.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Konrad Laimer - Returns to full training Laimer (adductor) completed a full training session with Austria on Monday after recovering from a muscle tear, according to Kicker.

Impact Laimer has taken a significant step in his recovery after previously being limited to individual work at Bayern Munich. The versatile midfielder is now training without restrictions and could make his first appearance of the international break against Ireland on Thursday or Kosovo on Sunday. His return to full training also puts him on track to be available for Bayern when club action resumes.

Hiroki Ito - Buried on left-back depth chart Ito has yet to feature in the Bundesliga this season and has played just 10 minutes in the Champions League.

Impact Ito has been limited to a peripheral role, sitting third in the left-back hierarchy behind Alphonso Davies and Nathaniel Brown. His only competitive action has amounted to 10 Champions League minutes, leaving him without a Bundesliga appearance. With both Davies and Brown ahead of him, Ito's opportunities are likely to remain dependent on rotation or absences.

Sacha Boey - Remains outside league squad Boey has yet to feature in a Bundesliga matchday squad this season.

Impact Boey appears to be well down the right-back pecking order under Vincent Kompany after failing to make the bench in league play. Josip Stanisic and Konrad Laimer are currently ahead of him for minutes at the position, while Joshua Kimmich is also capable of filling in at right-back. With several alternatives available, Boey faces a difficult path to meaningful Bundesliga playing time.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Josip Stanisic - Earns consecutive starts Stanisic has started Bayern Munich's last two Bundesliga matches at right-back after beginning the first three matches of the season on the bench.

Impact Stanisic has moved into the starting XI at right-back with Konrad Laimer sidelined, giving him an opportunity for increased playing time after a limited role to begin the campaign. He has created three chances and delivered five crosses across three Bundesliga appearances this season. His short-term starting prospects should remain closely tied to Laimer's availability.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Kim Min-jae - Third in center-back hierarchy Kim has made three Bundesliga appearances this season.

Impact Kim has recorded three tackles, four interceptions and nine clearances across his three league appearances. He remains Bayern's third-choice center-back behind Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah, which is likely to limit his starting opportunities when both preferred defenders are available. Kim should nevertheless remain a regular rotation option with Bayern competing across multiple competitions.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Diaz - Holds starting role Diaz remains Bayern Munich's first-choice option on the left wing despite a relatively slow start to the Bundesliga campaign.

Impact Diaz has produced one goal and no assists while creating five chances and attempting 12 shots across four Bundesliga appearances, including three starts. The winger's attacking volume remains encouraging despite the limited goal contributions, and he should continue to have opportunities to improve his production while operating as the primary option on the left flank. His established role keeps him in position to be a regular attacking contributor for Bayern.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Dayot Upamecano - Locked into starting XI Upamecano has started all four of Bayern Munich's Bundesliga matches this season.

Impact Upamecano has remained a fixture at center-back, recording one goal, eight tackles, six interceptions and 16 clearances across four Bundesliga appearances. His ever-present starting role underlines his place among Bayern's preferred defensive options alongside Jonathan Tah. Upamecano should continue to see heavy minutes at the heart of the defense as long as he remains healthy.

Jamal Musiala - Confirmed torn muscle fiber Musiala has suffered a torn muscle fiber in his right thigh, and is returning early from Germany's international duty to begin rehabilitation with Bayern Munich, according to the D...

Impact Musiala injured himself during warmups Thursday evening ahead of Germany's Nations League opener against the Netherlands, having originally been set to start that match in Amsterdam. This confirmed diagnosis now rules him out of the remaining international fixtures, and given his injury history over the past two seasons, his return timeline for Bayern will be worth monitoring closely, with Ismael Saibari and Lennart Karl figuring to see increased playing time in his absence.

Jamal Musiala - Injury under assessment Musiala (thigh) has undergone an MRI scan after his absence from Thursday's Nations League draw versus the Netherlands, with Germany boss Jurgen Klopp saying "I hope we get the dia...

Impact Musiala could be inactive for the remainder of the international matches and remain a doubt for Bayern's next games, especially considering his injury history over the past two seasons. The talented midfielder had been contributing as part of a rotation for both club and country, scoring in each of his two starts and adding one assist across Bundesliga and Champions League competitions. His potential absence would lead to increased playing time for Ismael Saibari and Lennart Karl at the club level.

Jamal Musiala - Suffers thigh injury on international duty Musiala suffered a thigh injury in the warm-ups before Thursday's UEFA Nations League match against the Netherlands, Kerry Hau of Sky Sports Germany reports.

Impact Musiala felt something in his thigh during warm-ups, and the coaching staff won't risk him in the first game of the international break. Nadiem Amiri took Musiala's place in the starting lineup, while the Bayern Munich star will undergo tests to see whether he can play in any of Germany's next matches.

Impact Laimer had already missed the recent Bundesliga match against Union Berlin due to the adductor issue, and while he'll need to wait a bit longer before fully rejoining team training, with the next collective session under coach Vincent Kompany not scheduled until Oct. 6, the club generally expects all players to be available again when Bundesliga play resumes against Augsburg.
