After an exiting week of action last week, Bayern Munich loanees ran out of luck this week. Only Sabitzer made an appearance in a game where his team actually won — but he also appeared in Manchester United’s 7-0 humiliating loss on Sunday. Leizig also put up double-digit saves, but still lost. Here is a summary of what all the loanees did this week:
France – Ligue 1
Alexander Nübel is the only player on loan in Ligue 1.
Alexander Nübel – AS Monaco
Monaco played Sunday on the road to Troyes. Two late goals in three minutes by Monaco’s Yedder gave them a late 2-1 lead. On the night, Nübel had three saves, but unfortunately could not make one more and a late goal led to dropped points. This extends Monaco’s winless streak to three games in all competitions.
Monaco will host Reims in Ligue 1 play on Sunday.
Scotland – Scottish Premiership
Malik Tillman is the only player on loan in the Scottish Premiership.
Malik Tillman – Rangers FC
Tillman was not in the 18-man squad for their 3-1 victory over Kilmarock in league play.
Rangers will travel to Edinburgh on Wednesday to face Hibernian in the league. Then on Sunday, they will host Raith Rovers in the Scottish Cup.
England – Premier League
Marcel Sabitzer is the only player on loan in the Premier League.
Marcel Sabitzer – Manchester United
After winning a trophy last Sunday, Manchester United was pummeled in Premier League play this week. Only down 1-0 at halftime, United went on to lose 7-0 away to Liverpool. Sabitzer came into the match in the 77th minute, with his team already down by five goals. He was not able to make much of an impact but did complete seven of his eight pass attempts. Nothing you can really do when your team is already in that kind of hole.
In a less memorable match, Manchester United hosted West Ham on Wednesday. Sabitzer started in that match and went on to play for 88 minutes. He got off two shots from just outside the box — one saved and one blocked — and created two chances through key passes. When Sabitzer exited the match, United was tied 1-1, but two stoppage time goals led them to a 3-1 win.
Manchester United will look to bounce back with two pivotal matches. They will host Real Betis in Europa League action on Thursday and then will host Southampton in Premier Leauge play on Sunday.
England – Women’s Super League
FC Bayern Frauen have one player on loan to England’s WSL.
Janina Leitzig – Leicester City
Leitzig and Leicester City traveled to face Manchester United on Sunday and had a good news/bad news game. The good news was that Leitzig recorded ten (yes TEN) saves! The bad news was that she still allowed five goals and Leicester lost 5-1. This is the second time that Leitzig recorded double-digit saves this season in a loss.
Leicester City WFC will host Everton on Sunday.
Netherlands – Eredivisie
Gabriel Vidovic is the only player on loan to the Dutch Eredivisie.
Gabriel Vidovic – Vitesse
Vidovic did not start in Vitesse’s match against AZ Alkmaar, but came on as a sub in the 54th minute. In his time on the field, Vidovic had a shot blocked from inside the box completed 86% of his passes. Unfortunately this was not enough and Vitesse fell 1-0 at home.
Vitesse will travel to play Sparta Rotterdam on Saturday.
Germany – 2. Bundesliga
There are three players on loan in the 2. Bundesliga: Sarpreet Singh, Bright Arrey-Mbi and Jamie Lawrence.
