Serge Gnabry has had a challenging season at FC Bayern Munich, plagued by injuries that limited him to just 20 competitive matches. Despite these setbacks, the 28-year-old winger is determined to prove himself under the new coach, Vincent Kompany. Gnabry is set to start training next week, ahead of many of his teammates who are still on holiday. This early start is seen as an opportunity for him to make a strong impression.
The arrival of Michael Olise from Crystal Palace has stirred speculation about the future of some of Bayern's long-standing offensive players, including Gnabry and Kingsley Coman. However, Gnabry has no intention of leaving Munich. According to Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg, Gnabry is not in talks with any other club and is focused on fighting for his place at Bayern. He has a contract until 2026 and has expressed a desire to extend it.
Michael Olise, meanwhile, has been a significant addition to Bayern Munich's squad. The 22-year-old forward has been granted permission to participate in the Olympic Games, which is a relief for the French team. Olise's performance in the preparation match against Paraguay, where he played behind attackers Alexandre Lacazette and Jean-Philippe Mateta, was promising. This comes as a boost for the Olympic Blues, especially after midfielder Khephren Thuram had to leave the group due to Juventus Turin's refusal to release him.
The French team, coached by Thierry Henry, will begin their Olympic campaign on July 24 against the United States. Before that, they are scheduled to face the Dominican Republic and Japan in preparation matches. Olise's inclusion in the squad is expected to strengthen the team's offensive capabilities.
