Bayern II beat Sparta Prague B in friendly (FCBayern.de)

Can Karatas, Alexander Nollenberger, and Leon Dajaku scored the goals that saw Bayern Munich II beat Sparta Prague B 3-0 in a friendly. With the 3.Liga on a break this weekend due to the DFB Pokal, this was a good opportunity for Bayern II to get a friendly in before the weekend.

With Christian Früchtl, Paul Will, Lukas Mai, Sarpreet Singh and Otschi Wriedt away with the first team, it was a good opportunity to work some players back into the squad. This included a defensive four three players returning from injury in Mert Yilmaz, Chris Richards, and captain Nicolas Feldhahn in addition to Josip Stanisic.

Bayern II won’t return to 3.Liga play until Monday, August 19.

In a move that seemingly came out of nowhere this week, Meritan Shabani completed a transfer to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the English Premier League. This came days after he played for Bayern II in the friendly against Sparta Prague B.

Shabani told the Wolverhampton official website that he’s pumped for “the project”.

“I’m delighted to finally be a Wolves player, the project here is one that excited me and I’m grateful to have this opportunity to impress.”

“The facilities are at a very high standard and this is a fantastic chance for me to develop as a footballer, in a new environment which will provide new experiences.”

Shabani will join their U-23 team with a likely more realistic shot at making their first team.
