MUNICH (AP) Bayern Munich says it is sending midfielder Pierre Emil Hoejbjerg on loan to Schalke for the season.

The 20-year-old Denmark international is considered talented but is getting little opportunity to play in the star-studded Bayern midfield.

Hoejberg spent the second half of the last season on loan to Augsburg and helped the team qualify for the Europa League.
