Bayern Munich suffers another injury blow after Musiala — Pavlovic ruled out for long spell before new season
Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic's bad luck with injuries and illness seems to have struck again, as he joins Jamal Musiala on the list of players out with injuries before the new season begins. The German champion said Saturday that Pavlovic has undergone surgery after fracturing his eye socket in a team training session Friday. Bayern didn't say exactly how the injury happened or how long Pavlovic would be out, just that he 'is facing a spell on the sidelines.' The 21-year-old Pavlovic is considered one of best young defensive midfielders in the world but has already racked up a list of absences for sometimes-unusual injuries and illness. ALSO READ: Bayern Munich hopeful about Jamal Musiala return by end of 2025 Pavlovic struggled with tonsillitis in his breakthrough 2023-24 season and was ruled out of Germany's team for Euro 2024 with illness. Last season, he had spells out with a collarbone fracture and glandular fever. Meanwhile, Musiala, one of Bayern's most important members in the midfield, is expected to return only by the end of the year, after suffering a horrific injury during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. Bayern's new season starts August 16 against Stuttgart in the German Super Cup.

Premier League Denies Rumours Of Reducing Teams From 20 To 18 Amid Fixture Chaos
Last Updated: Premier League CEO Richard Masters dismissed reducing the league to 18 teams, reaffirming the 20-club structure despite player workload concerns, prioritizing domestic football. Premier League CEO Richard Masters has dismissed speculation that the league could be reduced to 18 teams, reaffirming that the top flight will maintain its traditional 20-club structure despite mounting pressure over player workload and fixture congestion. Recent reports had suggested the Premier League was considering a move to trim the number of teams as a response to the increasingly crowded football calendar. However, Masters confirmed that no such changes are being considered at this time. Packed Schedules Raising Player Welfare Concerns The Premier League continues to face scrutiny over the intensifying schedule, especially as international and domestic competitions expand. Players, coaches, and clubs have increasingly voiced frustration over the lack of adequate rest and recovery time between seasons. This summer has been particularly demanding, with several Premier League clubs taking part in the newly expanded FIFA Club World Cup in the United States. The tournament left just a three-week window for pre-season preparations before the 2025–26 campaign kicks off on August 15. BBC. The 32-team Club World Cup, held for the first time in a summer format, significantly shortened the off-season for top clubs. The compressed break has led to player fatigue and questions over long-term health and performance. Masters stressed that evaluating the tournament's success is not within his remit, but insisted that domestic football must not be sidelined. 'The jury is out about the competitiveness of the format and the scheduling and the underlying economics, but it is not my job to assess the success or otherwise of the Club World Cup," he said. 'It is my job to assess whether these new competitions have an impact on the domestic calendar and domestic competitions, of which the Premier League is one." 'Since 1994, the Premier League has been 380 matches, 20 clubs. We haven't changed shape at all," he noted. 'Now we are starting to redesign our domestic calendar at the altar of European and global expansion." Masters also criticized the lack of meaningful consultation between FIFA and other major leagues. 'There has to be, at the top of the game, a proper dialogue between FIFA and all the stakeholders about how these things go forward. That has been sadly missing," he added.

RFEF Denies Real Madrid! Request To Postpone LaLiga Opener Declined
Last Updated: Madrid's appeal to delay their 2025–26 LaLiga opener against Osasuna on August 19 was rejected by the RFEF. They cited their participation in the FIFA Club World Cup as the reason. Real Madrid will kick off their 2025–26 LaLiga campaign with a home fixture against CA Osasuna on August 19, after the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) rejected the club's appeal to delay the match. According to multiple Spanish media reports on Thursday, Madrid had requested additional time to rest and prepare following their participation in the FIFA Club World Cup. The appeal stemmed from Real Madrid's appearance in the expanded Club World Cup, held in the United States earlier this summer. The Spanish giants reached the semi-finals but were eliminated by French champions Paris Saint-Germain on July 9. Citing the demanding schedule and the need for a proper pre-season, Madrid asked the RFEF to postpone their LaLiga opener. However, the federation dismissed the request, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the integrity of the league calendar. According to a report from Europa Press, a judge appointed by the RFEF ruled that only an extraordinary situation, or force majeure, could justify amending the official league schedule. Real Madrid's situation, the judge concluded, did not meet that threshold. 'In order to preserve the integrity of the competition, only a case of force majeure would warrant a change to the official calendar," the ruling stated. The judge also addressed Real Madrid's claim that their opponents, Osasuna, had agreed to the proposed rescheduling. 'Finally, it should be added that although the requesting club claims to have the agreement of the opposing party, CA Osasuna, there is no record of this entity having responded to the request made by this judge," the statement continued, as quoted by Europa Press. The ruling means Real Madrid will have just over a month between their Club World Cup exit and their domestic league opener. The short turnaround poses a challenge for manager Xabi Alonso, who will need to manage player fatigue and fitness levels ahead of a demanding campaign. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
