Konrad Laimer - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Start at right-back Laimer had two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-0 win versus Benfica.

Impact Laimer was back in the starting XI on Wednesday, though in a somewhat new role at right-back. The midfielder has failed to garner a consistent starting job, but has gotten chances in the busy Bayern schedule. Laimer should continue to see a solid depth role across midfield and the backline.

Shot in start Laimer recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 5-0 win over Werder Bremen. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 38th minute.

Impact Laimer got a chance in the starting XI, and took a single shot, but was largely uninvolved during the dominant win. It's been a quiet season for the holding midfielder, who offers most of his value off his ability to play in a variety of positions. Laimer will likely be one of the few options in Bavaria with little upside going forward.

Ankle injury confirmed Laimer has been confirmed to have suffered an ankle injury and is questionable for Tuesday's match against Real Madrid, according to manager Thomas Tuchel. "Konny twisted his ankle...

Impact Laimer looks to likely be facing a fitness test ahead of Tuesday's match, as he will try to be an option after going down with an ankle injury Saturday. It will be a late-call, but if he is an option, there is a decent chance he could get the start, although it's more likely he would serve off the bench, not trying to further injure himself. However, if he is left off the team sheet completely, expect Aleksandar Pavlovic to see more time.

Returns after five matches Laimer (calf) is on the bench for Bayern during Saturday's match against Leipzig.

Joins team training Laimer (calf) has been upgraded to team training Wednesday ahead of Saturday's match against Leipzig.

Impact Laimer looks to be progressing a bit quicker than expected, as he is already training with the team. The midfielder has missed the club's past five contests and will now look to end that streak this weekend, as his boost to working with the team implies he is close to playing. However, if he is selected for the team sheet, he most likely will reside on the bench, as they take his return cautiously. Although, with the club being short on full-back options due to injuries around the club, he may be forced into a starting role quicker than expected, hoping to avoid any setbacks if that is the case.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Continues individual work Laimer (calf) was pictured training individually Monday.

Impact Laimer has been working individually for over a week now but probably shouldn't be expected to play against Leipzig on Saturday considering he hasn't linked up with the full squad yet. In his last five appearances (all starts), Laimer featured in a right-back role in which he recorded seven shots (three on target), 14 crosses (three accurate) and four corners.

FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Trains individually Laimer (calf) was back training individually with a ball on Monday ahead of the club's contest in the UCL against Lazio on Wednesday.

Impact Laimer looks to be making decent progress on his return to play, having started running last week and now training with the ball Monday after suffering a calf issue around two weeks ago. This keeps the midfielder on track to make his return around the end of the month or in early March. Both the club and player will just hope for his recovery to go forward as planned with no setbacks, as they will want him back in the team sheet, with Laimer being a regular starter.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Runs on grass Laimer (calf) was able to starting running on the grass for the first time since his torn muscle suffered in two weeks.

Impact Laimer is working his way back to the pitch after already missing the last two matches with a calf injury. He is still on pace to return by the end of February or early March, depending how soon the midfielder can train fully. In the meantime, either Sacha Boey or Noussair Mazraoui could see the start at right back in his absence.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Injures tendon in calf Laimer looks to be out for around the next eight weeks, having picked up a calf injury against Union Berlin on Wednesday, according to Dennis Brosda of Bild.

Impact Laimer is just another player to add to Bayern's injury list, now having five defenders out for Saturday's match against Augsburg after the Austrian went down with a calf issue. This will be a huge loss over the next eight weeks for the club, as Laimer has appeared in every match this season while starting in 17 of the club's 24 contests. He will now hope to return around the middle of March, with Raphael Guerreiro taking over his spot at right-back and possibly Noussair Mazraoui as well, once he returns from international duty.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Busy in start Laimer registered three crosses (one accurate) and nine tackles in Wednesday's 0-0 draw against FC Copenhagen.

Impact Laimer has been the do-it-all starter all over the midfield and defense and he made the most of yet another start Wednesday.

Overall Laimer has shown some value on both sides of the ball any time he is in the starting XI.

Laimer now has two assists on the season and will look to keep building on that, as he has been given more starting nods this season than expected, with Dayot Upamecano and Raphael Guerreiro out in the defense, along with Leon Goretzka and Serge Gnabry out in the midfield.

OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Two crosses for draw Laimer had two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against RB Leipzig.

Impact Laimer made yet another start at right-back and didn't accomplish as much as would have been hoped, though he was thrown into the deep end of a brutal match against the red-hot Leipzig attack. All-in-all Laimer has impressed in his new role, keeping Noussair Mazraoui out of the first team in recent matches.

OCTOBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
