"The midfielder will not be able to participate in team training in the coming days, but will not leave the training camp (in Bavaria) early," the club said in a statement.
"His recovery and subsequent rehabilitation training will be symptom- and pain-oriented, and Angelo Stiller is unlikely to be available for the friendlies against Toulouse FC (August 2) and Bologna FC (August 9)."

Liverpool set to cut losses with Nunez move to Saudi: reports
LIVERPOOL: Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is reportedly closing in on a move to Saudi club Al-Hilal, which could allow the Premier League champions to make a fresh bid for Newcastle's Alexander Isak. For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport Nunez joined the Reds for an initial 75 million euros ($87 million, £65 million) from Benfica three years ago but has failed to live up to that price tag. The Uruguayan has scored 40 goals in 143 appearances but slipped down the pecking order at Anfield under both Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot. According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Al-Hilal will pay an initial 53 million euros for the 26-year-old. BREAKING: Darwin Núñez to Al Hilal, here we go! Verbal agreement has been completed between all parties. €53m plus add-ons to Liverpool as revealed today, 3 year deal for Núñez. Núñez said yes and Inzaghi only wanted him. Medical next. Exclusive story, confirmed. — Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 6, 2025 Nunez was likely to play even less this season after Liverpool signed Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz as part of a 300 million euro spending spree that also includes full-backs Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong. However, the club could still break the British transfer record by signing Isak, with Newcastle reportedly demanding a fee of up to £150 million for the Swedish striker. The sale of Nunez would take Liverpool's income for transfer sales this window to nearly 200 million euros after the departures of Luis Diaz, Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Tyler Morton. Harvey Elliott is also attracting interest from RB Leipzig, with Liverpool wanting at least 45 million euros for the England midfielder. Nunez would become the latest big name to join Al-Hilal, who shocked Manchester City to reach the quarter-finals of the recent Club World Cup. Coached by former Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi, the Saudi club's squad includes Portuguese internationals Ruben Neves and Joao Cancelo, Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly and former Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel makes big move to rival team
LONDON: Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel will leave the team where he became one of the best riders of his generation to join Red Bull–BORA–hansgrohe from next season. For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport The 25-year-old Belgian rider informed Soudal Quick-Step that he would not extend his contract, which was due to expire at the end of 2026. The team said on Tuesday it has agreed to release him early. 'After taking some time to consult with our sponsors and partners, the team's ownership and management have decided that it is in the best interest of everyone to agree that Remco can move at the end of the current 2025 season,' Soudal Quick-Step said in a statement. Evenepoel signed with Soudal Quick-Step at a young age after the squad's former manager Patrick Lefevere spotted his immense potential. Under Lefevere's supervision, Evenepoel won prestigious races, including the 2022 Spanish Vuelta, two stages of the Tour de France and two titles at Liège-Bastogne-Liège. He finished third at the 2024 Tour de France but withdrew from this year's edition. Widely considered the best time trialist in the world, Evenepoel remains focused on winning more Grand Tours. 'Remco stands for ambition. He doesn't just want to ride — he wants to shape cycling,' said Ralph Denk, the CEO of Red Bull–BORA–hansgrohe. 'He brings not only exceptional athletic talent but also a remarkable mindset. His determination, professionalism, and relentless drive to succeed are truly inspiring.' Evenepoel's move will strengthen Red Bull–BORA–hansgrohe, where he will team up with Primoz Roglic and Florian Lipowitz, who finished third in last month's Tour de France. 'Evenepoel's arrival marks more than just a milestone for Red Bull–BORA–hansgrohe, it is a clear signal,' the team said. 'With renewed confidence and bold ambition, the team is setting its course to become one of the most attractive forces on the international cycling stage in the years to come.' Evenepoel hadn't yet commented Tuesday, though he posted Red Bull–BORA–hansgrohe's 'Welcome Remco!' message on his Instagram account. A year ago in Paris, Evenepoel become the first rider to sweep the road race and time trial at the Summer Games.

German club drops Israeli striker over Gaza-linked social media posts
LONDON: German football club Fortuna Dusseldorf has canceled the signing of Israeli striker Shon Weissman following a backlash over his alleged links to controversial social media posts about the war in Gaza. The club confirmed the decision on Tuesday. In a brief statement on X it said: 'We looked into Shon Weissman intensively, but ultimately decided not to sign him.' While the club did not elaborate, German newspaper Bild reported that the decision followed an outcry by fans over Weissman's online comments, some of which were described as 'disrespectful and discriminatory.' The player had already arrived in Dusseldorf and completed his medical checks. News of Weissman's planned move from Spanish side Granada sparked online protests on Monday. Critics said his posts were at odds with Fortuna's values and 'the principles the club stands for and promotes.' The club initially responded to the criticism by defending the player. A post on Fortuna's account published late on Monday said: 'What's going on here? I keep getting messages. Judging people you don't know based on their Wikipedia page? That doesn't reflect our values.' Was geht hier ab? Bekomme im Feierabend eine Benachrichtigung nach der anderen. Grundsätzlich: Menschen, die man nicht kennt, anhand eines Wikipedia-Artikels bewerten?! Passt eigentlich nicht zu unserer Bubble… — Fortuna Düsseldorf (@f95) August 4, 2025 But the post was soon obscured and the club — reportedly aware of the earlier posts — called off the €500,000 ($580,000) deal. Weissman, who has 33 caps for Israel, has been involved in several online controversies in recent years and was unpopular among some Granada supporters. Following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, he allegedly wrote or endorsed multiple inflammatory statements, including calls to 'wipe Gaza off the map' and to 'drop 200 tons of bombs on it,' according to Bild. He also reportedly liked a post that said 'there are no innocents (in Gaza), they don't need to be warned.' In 2023, a prosecutor in Granada received a hate speech complaint related to Weissman's online activity. The player's agent later claimed the posts were made by a social media manager with access to his accounts and were subsequently deleted. This is not the first time the Gaza war has had repercussions in German football. Dutch international Anwar El Ghazi was sacked by Bundesliga side Mainz over comments he made online about the conflict. He later won a wrongful dismissal case against the club, which is currently under appeal. Former Bayern Munich defender and current Manchester United player Noussair Mazraoui also faced a backlash for social media posts expressing solidarity with Palestinians, including one calling for 'victory' for 'our oppressed brothers in Palestine.' He later issued a public apology.
