MUNICH (GERMANY) (ITALPRESS) – Jamal Musiala will be the big absentee from tomorrow’s match for the German Super Cup. Vincent Kompany and his Bayern Munich side will have to do without the 23-year-old German winger, who has experienced episodes of feeling unwell in his last two matches against Leipzig and Heidenheim.

It is a significant absence, but for the Bavarians’ coach, what matters is that the situation can be managed and that “there is a lot of optimism about his full recovery.” The player himself revealed on social media that he suffers from “brief, temporary absence seizures, which are treatable and caused by a neurological dysfunction.” The episodes were triggered by a change in his medication.

At his press conference, Kompany explained that the club had been aware of Musiala’s condition for some time. “This is the first time the news has become public and, obviously, many questions have arisen, but we have been dealing with his situation for some time,” the Belgian coach said. “The initial shock dates back some time. Since then, we have received much more information and made decisions with the help of the best experts. Jamal has everyone’s support. We don’t talk about it much among ourselves anymore. We have been prepared for some time, we have our protocols in place and we are very optimistic.”

There was further reassurance from Kompany, as well as from the player, who is currently following an individual training programme while adapting to the change in his treatment. “We will give him all the support we have already given him and will continue to give him. We know how to handle the situation, and we are doing it all together, including his teammates. Jamal changed something in his treatment, which is why the episodes became noticeable. Now we want to return to the situation we had before, when these episodes did not occur.”

There is also a match to focus on, and in addition to Musiala, Serge Gnabry and Lennart Karl will miss the game against Borussia Dortmund.

“It would be fantastic to win a trophy in Dortmund,” Kompany said. “Maybe with 50% of the fans in the stadium, the atmosphere of a final would be even more special, but winning a trophy in their home stadium would be just as great. Dortmund’s quality and strength are extremely high: there is no more difficult challenge for us in Germany.”

TRIPOLI (LIBYA) (ITALPRESS) – Libya’s Interior Ministry has announced the arrival at the port of Tripoli of a tanker carrying 40 million liters of gasoline, which will be distributed to service stations around the clock to ease the severe fuel shortage that has caused long queues throughout the capital and in other cities.

According to a statement posted by the Libyan Interior Ministry on Facebook, a second tanker carrying a further 40 million liters will arrive at the port of Tripoli the day after tomorrow to replenish supplies. The ministry urged citizens not to crowd service stations or obstruct traffic, stressing that sufficient quantities of fuel are available.

Regional security directorates have been instructed to coordinate with police forces to regulate traffic outside fuel stations and reduce congestion.

TRIPOLI (LIBYA) (ITALPRESS) – A Libyan military source has revealed to Italpress details of a roadmap aimed at reshaping the military landscape in the western part of the country, in an effort to prevent further escalations, particularly in light of repeated mysterious drone attacks.

The source, who requested anonymity, explained that “Deputy Defence Minister of the Government of National Unity Abdel Salam al-Zoubi has adopted a roadmap based on several elements, foremost among them the reorganization of armed formations and the removal of their members from cities and residential areas.”

The source also specified that “another key issue being addressed concerns identifying the areas where ammunition and military equipment are stored, with a view to relocating them to areas far from urban centres in order to prevent possible accidents or loss of control.”

According to the source, al-Zoubi’s plan enjoys broad local support as well as a balance of international backing. This reportedly emerged clearly during his recent direct meetings with Egyptian, US and Turkish delegations, as part of a decisive political and military process aimed at reaching key understandings that would feed directly into the historic process of unifying the Libyan army.

Al-Zoubi was appointed Libya’s deputy defence minister several years ago. In recent days, he met in Sirte with Saddam Haftar, chief of staff of the Libyan National Army’s ground forces, on the sidelines of the Flintlock 2026 military exercises. An informed source said that al-Zoubi “is racing against time to impose a new reality on the ground and reshape the military structure in the western region.”

These strategic moves come at a crucial stage, marked by intense US diplomatic activity aimed at breaking the political deadlock and bringing about a substantial shift in the Libyan crisis. Available data confirm that any comprehensive political agreement supported and sponsored by the international community will remain dependent on the ability to establish strict control over the security and military apparatus and unify the armed forces under an organized structure.

Stability on the ground is therefore the fundamental pillar and the only real gateway to the success of any credible political initiative. Al-Zoubi has risen through the various ranks of a military career. In 2015, he founded the 301 Battalion, while in 2022 he was appointed to lead the 111 Brigade, before being named deputy defence minister based in Tripoli.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Malta has decided to recognize all Israeli travel documents. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar announced this today, following discussions with Maltese Minister of Foreign and European Affairs Chris Fearne.

The decision will also allow Israelis in possession of alternative travel documents, including the Teudat Ma’avar, issued by the Israeli Ministry of the Interior as an alternative to the standard national passport, to enter Malta.

Until now, Malta was the only country in the Schengen Area not to recognize this document as valid for entry.

LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Tottenham continue to be active in the English transfer market. According to BBC Sport, the Spurs have reportedly opened talks with Manchester City over Savinho and Omar Marmoush.

The 22-year-old Brazilian has long been a Tottenham target, with the club already making an attempt to sign him last year. The player ultimately chose to remain at the Etihad, although he went on to make just seven Premier League starts.

Marmoush, who joined Manchester City from Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2025 for £59 million, also struggled for regular playing time under Guardiola last season, although he still managed to score eight goals in 36 appearances across all competitions.

Cody Gakpo remains an alternative target, but should Tottenham complete the double deal with City, the North London club could ultimately drop their pursuit of the Liverpool and Netherlands forward.

BARCELONA (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – “Two players like Ferran and Lewandowski have left. We can replace Ferran with whoever has arrived, while it’s more difficult with Robert; he marked an era for us. We have internal solutions, but we will certainly make some moves. It’s about finding the best solution. We’re working to see what to do between now and the end of the season.” Deco, Barcelona’s sporting director, confirmed last night that the transfer window isn’t over yet and that moving forward, they will try to accommodate Flick.

In the last few hours, Lautaro Martinez’s name has resurfaced, given Atletico Madrid’s resistance to Julian Alvarez: under contract until 2029, the Inter captain is happy in Milan, but according to “Sport,” faced with a significant offer from the Blaugrana, both the player and the Nerazzurri could consider a sensational transfer.

Lautaro might be tempted by the chance to play for a team like Barça, which would give him greater visibility both in terms of his national team—his zero minutes in the last World Cup final still stings—and in terms of the possibility of chasing individual accolades like the Ballon d’Or.

MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “Santi is fine. They’re negotiating: Porto made an initial offer that Milan didn’t accept, but negotiations are continuing.“ Christian Gimenez, Santiago’s father, confirmed to Fox Sports that the Dragoes option for his son remains open. “It’s a great opportunity, which comes at a time that isn’t the best, after the year he’s had, with injuries,” he added.

“Many talk about Santi’s stats, but they don’t mention that he was injured for seven months… The fact that a team like Porto comes looking for you at such a difficult time is very positive. That’s what I tell them: it means you’ve done something good.”

At Milan, “it didn’t go as expected. It hurts, they were the dream team, but when something like this happens”—referring to the long injury layoff—”you don’t have the consistency you wanted, and when they then sign a striker for €70 million (Ramos, ed.), it’s difficult.”

According to “A Bola”, however, negotiations between the two clubs are currently at a standstill after the Rossoneri rejected the loan deal with an option to buy for €15 million, with Porto also considering other options.

BEIRUT (LEBANON) (ITALPRESS) – Lebanese President Joseph Aoun reiterated his “gratitude to Pope Leo XIV for all his efforts to support Lebanon in achieving its demands for an end to Israeli occupation and aggression on its soil.“ This was reported by the Lebanese presidency in X, following the meeting in the Vatican between the Pontiff and Aoun. The Lebanese head of state “urged the Pope to continue supporting these demands, first and foremost Israel’s obligation to implement the terms of the framework agreement, to immediately cease attacks on villages and infrastructure in the south and on civilians, and to withdraw from the occupied territories.”

At the Holy See, Aoun also met with the Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and the Vatican Secretary of State for Relations with States, Archbishop Richard Gallagher. During both meetings, Aoun “expressed Lebanon’s gratitude to the Holy See for all the efforts made in support of the country since the Pope’s recent visit” and “then outlined the political, economic, and social developments Lebanon has undergone in recent times.”

Aoun “urged the Pope and Vatican officials to continue diplomatic efforts in all international forums to meet Lebanon’s demands, first and foremost to force Israel to implement the terms of the framework agreement signed under the auspices of the United States on June 26 and to end the daily attacks, which particularly target civilians, infrastructure, civilian facilities, and villages in the south of the country” and “to support Lebanon in achieving a complete Israeli withdrawal from the occupied Lebanese territories, paving the way for the reconstruction of what Israel has destroyed and the return of displaced persons to their homes and villages.”

Aoun stressed that these steps must be accompanied by the extension of the Lebanese state’s authority across its entire territory and by the state’s exclusive control over decisions regarding war and peace, as the only way to ensure security and stability on the borders, the presidency concluded.
