Schalke 04 take on Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. Here’s how you can secure your tickets

Joao Palhinha is on the verge of bringing his frustrating spell at Bayern Munich to an end after the German giants reached a significant breakthrough in negotiations. The Portugal international is now expected to return to his homeland by joining Benfica, following a difficult period where he struggled to secure a regular starting spot in the Bundesliga.

Bayern Munich have moved to ease concerns regarding Jamal Musiala's playing future after the Germany international collapsed in two successive pre-season friendlies. Club sources stressed that there is no evidence the playmaker cannot continue at the highest level after being diagnosed with a temporary and easily treatable neurological dysfunction.

Harry Kane has suggested that his desire to return to the Premier League has significantly faded since his move to Germany. The England captain, who is closing in on a new contract at Bayern Munich, admitted that he no longer feels the same 'itch' to chase down Alan Shearer’s historic scoring record.
