Bayern Munich issue official diagnosis on Jamal Musiala's horror injury
Musiala's expected time way from pitch hasn't changed. The young German phenom remains out of action for a minimum of four months. FCB board-member-for-sport Max Eberl's official club statement stuck to generalities when it came to the matter. Musiala was flown back to Munich yesterday and will undergo surgery in the Bavarian capital soon.

'This serious injury and the long lay-off are a real shock for Jamal and all of us,' Eberl's statement read. 'Everyone knows how immensely important Jamal is to our game and what a central role he plays in our team. We all feel for him: Jamal had just come back from an injury and will now be out for a long time again. He will get everything he needs from us. We will support him intensively and remain at his side.'

Sabalenka avoids it being curtains against Mertens
Aryna Sabalenka is loving each strident challenge as she moves ever closer to her maiden Wimbledon title, with the world No.1 and big tournament favourite coming through another bracing test on Centre Court to reach the quarter-finals. After breaking local hearts by knocking out home favourite Emma Raducanu in a rare old battle in the previous round, the top seed again had an uncomfortable outing against her old doubles partner and friend Elise Mertens before prevailing 6-4 7-6 (7-4) on Sunday. It meant she had booked a last-eight place without yet dropping a set, even though none of her matches so far have been straightforward affairs. One step closer to achieving a lifelong dream ✨#Wimbledon | @SabalenkaA — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 6, 2025 "Roland Garros was also quite challenging," conceded the Belarusian, who's kept up her remarkable run of reaching the quarters in her last 11 grand slams. "I love these challenges. I think every time you go through these tough matches, you kind of bring your game to the next level, and it helps to improve your game as well. "I feel like, with every match I'm playing here, I'm getting better and better mentally and also physically. So I love these tough challenges. I only hope to get better and better in each round." Next up for Sabalenka, who missed last year's event with injury and the 2022 edition due to the ban on Russian and Belarusian players, will be Laura Siegemund, the 37-year-old German who had caused the shock of the third round with her victory over Australian Open champion Madison Keys. Siegemund had only won two singles matches in her five previous Wimbledons but has now twice that many in this edition alone, as she made it through to the last eight with a 6-3 6-2 victory over Argentinian lucky loser Solana Sierra. The German does not lack for self-confidence but even she's a little shocked at how far she's gone as she's become the oldest woman player to reach a maiden Wimbledon quarter-final. "Of course I am surprised. If you would have told me I play quarter-finals here, I would have never believed it," she said. "On the other hand, it's a very simple math always in tennis. You have an opponent, either you find good solutions and you execute well, you go forward, or you don't, and you don't go forward. "As I said after big wins before, I have this game and this maybe boldness to take out big names. I've always had that, just maybe because I don't care who is on the other side. In a positive, respectful way, I don't care." Another veteran, 34-year-old Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, reached her first Wimbledon quarter-final in nine years, defeating Briton Sonay Kartal 7-6 (7-3) 6-4.

I lost a friend last weekend. That was for him: Brown
Dan Brown has shown nerves of steel to secure an emotional two-shot victory at the BMW International Open. The 30-year-old Englishman revealed he lost a close friend last weekend, but he showcased composure of the highest level to card a flawless 66 to hold off compatriot Jordan Smith with a 22-under-par total in Munich on Sunday. The pair, who were playing in the final group together, were locked at 20 under when they reached the turn, but a birdie at the 12th from Brown, coupled by successive bogeys from the 13th by his rival, saw the lead stretch to three. Smith produced a brilliant bunker shot to pick up a shot at the 15th to cut the gap to two strokes, before both men found the par-five last in two and finish the tournament with a closing birdies. Asked what his second DP World Tour victory means to him, Brown said: "A lot. The first one didn't really sink in, but that one straight away hit me. "I lost a friend at home last weekend. I don't know what to say really, but that was for him. "The last two days I've been thinking about him to try and take my mind off it, obviously try not to get too emotional in the process. "I'm not too sure what happened today like all day, it was an out-of-body experience. Obviously nerves, and then thinking about the importance of winning a golf tournament. "It sort of played it down with what happened, I suppose he was there with me and it made it a lot easier. "This event being such a great event, and then the next two weeks, it's a nice three-week stretch and it's been made a lot nicer." Smith finished as runner-up for the second straight year as he finished on 20 under, while Laurie Canter earned a share of seventh at 15 under. Australia's Elvis Smylie finished 13 shots adrift of the leader.
