Bayern celebrates Supercup victory despite injuries to Laimer and Gnabry!
The German Supercup took place on August 17, 2025, where FC Bayern Munich defeated VfB Stuttgart. During the game, however, there were worrying moments for Bayern, especially in the second half, when Konrad Laimer was replaced in the 72nd minute. Laimer suffered an injury when he plunged outside the field. However, Bayern sports director Christoph Freund gave the all-clear and explained that Laimer only had a cramp and problems with the little toe. Freund is optimistic that he won't be long.
In the 80th minute, Serge Gnabry was also replaced after falling on his knee and suffering a slight cramp. Freund also expressed hope for a quick return for Gnabry. The two players are important players in FC Bayern squad, who starts the new Bundesliga season against RB Leipzig next Friday.
Outlook for the Bundesliga season
The anticipation for the 2025/26 Bundesliga season is growing, which will open on August 22, 2025 with the game Bayern Munich against RB Leipzig. The Bundesliga 2 begins at the same time as the first matches and starts on August 1, 2025.
When creating the game plans, attention was paid to local and security requirements, and the wishes of the clubs were also taken into account.

This year there will be interesting opening games, including Bayer Leverkusen against Hoffenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt against Werder Bremen.
In the middle of these sporting events there are also innovations in the field of fitness tracking that are of interest to athletes. Garmin has recently updated its Venu 3 smartwatch, which is available in two sizes and offers a variety of functions. In addition to a gentle GPS and smart notifications, this also includes sleep tracking and an improved heart rate sensor. This could be particularly useful for athletes such as Laimer and Gnabry, who have to pay attention to their fitness and recovery.
