Jamal Musiala - Scores goal in victory Musiala scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Thursday's 5-0 win against Glimt.

Impact Musiala scored one of Bayern's five goals and created one chance across 65 minutes before being replaced as manager Vincent Kompany rotated his squad with the match already well in hand at 5-0. He registered three shots including two on target in a dynamic display that underlined his continued importance to Bayern's attacking structure despite competition for places across the forward line. Musiala and Bayern open their Champions League campaign with a maximum three points and will next travel to Norway to face Viking FK.

Manuel Neuer - Clean sheet in record-breaking appearance Neuer recorded no saves and allowed zero goals in Thursday's 5-0 win against Glimt.

Impact Neuer kept a clean sheet in Thursday's 5-0 Champions League opening group stage win over Bodo/Glimt without being called upon to make a single save, as Bayern dominated from start to finish with 77 percent possession and limited the Norwegians to zero shots on target across the full 90 minutes. His appearance was his 18th in different Champions League seasons, a new German record surpassing Thomas Muller's 17, and at 40 years and 167 days he also became the oldest German player in the competition's history, surpassing Jens Lehmann. Bayern extended their unbeaten run in Champions League home group stage matches to 39 consecutive games with the victory.

Harry Kane - Scores, assists in UCL opener Kane scored one goal and delivered one assist from six shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created during Thursday's 5-0 UCL win over Glimt.

Impact Kane regained a starting role as expected and got involved in his side's first two goals, notching a header in the 61st minute and passing to Jamal Musiala in the 47th of the game. The striker could have easily added more direct contributions but was denied once by goalkeeper Nikita Haikin and then lacked aim in other chances. Having yet to open his Bundesliga scoring count, Kane has recorded three goals and one assist between Pokal and UCL play and is likely to remain a high-quality threat in the upcoming visit to Elversberg.

Michael Olise - Involved in three goals Thursday Olise scored two goals and one assist from seven shots (four on goal), seven chances created and six crosses (one accurate) in Thursday's 5-0 Champions League win over Glimt.

Impact Olise emerged with a superb second half after going scoreless in the initial 45 minutes, as he found the net twice from mid and long range while setting up Harry Kane through his lone accurate cross during the victory. After being used as a substitute in the previous league game, the midfielder returned to his regular spot, and he delivered a few corner kicks during a 90-minute performance. He has tallied five goals and two assists over the first five official matches of the season including all competitions.

Serge Gnabry - Not in squad Thursday Gnabry (thigh) isn't in the squad for Thursday's UCL match against Bodo/Glimt.

Impact Gnabry was deemed a game-time call for this UCL opener, and in the end, the winger won't be an option for this UCL opener at home. Gnabry has yet to play this season, but Bayern have enough depth in the attacking third to withstand his absence. His next chance to play will come against Elversberg on Sunday in the Bundesliga.

Impact Gnabry is closing in on his first competitive appearance since suffering a torn adductor, having progressed back into full team training. Manager Vincent Kompany's comments suggest the winger has a realistic chance of making the squad against Glimt, though Bayern will assess his response to the final training session before making a decision. Given his lengthy absence, Gnabry would likely be eased back into action rather than immediately handling a significant workload.

Impact Musiala has returned to regular involvement following his extended absence but is still short of his usual workload after limited playing time this season. Bayern will continue to manage the 23-year-old carefully despite his positive response to recent training and match minutes. His availability against Glimt is not in doubt, though Kompany's comments suggest his playing time could again be managed Thursday.

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.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

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.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

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.

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.
