• Sane set for Bayern return after surgery, says Kompany

  Leroy Sane is available for Bayern Munich's game at Holstein Kiel after missing their opening two matches following a groin operation.

  Sane featured in all five games for Germany at Euro 2024 before undergoing surgery in July, and also returns in time for the start of Bayern's Champions League campaign at home to Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday.

  "We have a lot of players, and we need all of them. Aside from the long-term injuries, all the players are fit," Kompany told reporters.

  "We've got a week with three matches coming up, and we're looking forward to it. Leroy will also be in the squad."

  Sane also struggled with injuries towards the end of last season, making just one appearance in Bayern's final seven league games, having scored eight goals in their opening nine matches.

  "He had a really good first half of last season and was involved in a lot of goals," Bayern's sporting director Christoph Freund said.

  "In the early part of this year, he had constant battles with injuries and pain, but he battled on and played through it.

  "The nice thing now is that he's pain-free. We're glad he's back and properly fit."

  Bayern face promoted side Kiel, who are in the Bundesliga for the first time, on Saturday, and Kompany knows what it is like to take a side up from the second tier after his time in England with Burnley.

  "I experienced it myself last year. We completely dominated in the second division with Burnley, and then we got promoted to a different league and struggled," Kompany said.

  "But you do all the work for exactly these games and I imagine that Kiel are looking forward to it.

  "They're flexible and good on the ball. They were dominant last season and even though they've been promoted, that's stayed in the team."

• Hull City 0-2 Sheffield United: Hamer and McCallum goals send Blades third

  Sheffield United continued their fine start to the Championship with a comfortable 2-0 win away to Hull City.

  Goals from Gustavo Hamer and Sam McCallum were enough to give Chris Wilder's side victory and send them up to third in the table.

  The home side made an encouraging start to the game but fell behind after a stunning Blades counter-attack, with Callum O'Hare driving forward before playing in Hamer, who gave keeper Ivor Pandur no chance with a neat finish.

  Hull went close to equalising through Abdulkadir Omar's free-kick, but he was thwarted by a flying save from Michael Cooper in the Sheffield United goal.

  The away side doubled their advantage in the second half as substitute McCallum swept in a fine effort from Andre Brooks' cutback.

  Marvin Mehlem nearly handed the Tigers a way back into the encounter, but his header crashed against the crossbar, leaving Hull 19th in the table, still without a league win this campaign.

  Data debrief: Blades make best start in 12 years

  With three wins and two draws under their belt in the Championship, Sheffield United will be proud of how they have adapted to life back in the second tier.

  It marks their best start to a campaign since the 2012-13 season, which saw them go unbeaten in their first 16 games in League One.

  Wilder also continued his good record as Blades boss at MKM stadium, winning a fourth successive match away to Hull after losing in February 2018, in his first spell in charge.

   

   

• Borussia Dortmund 4-2 Heidenheim: Adeyemi stars with brace to inspire win

  Karim Adeyemi scored twice and set up another goal as Borussia Dortmund earned a 4-2 victory over visitors Heidenheim on Friday.

  Adeyemi first set up Donyell Malen, who drilled his low shot through Kevin Muller to give the hosts the lead in the 12th minute.

  The 22-year-old then doubled their advantage six minutes later with his first goal after completing a textbook break five minutes later.

  Heidenheim briefly cut the deficit with Marvin Pieringer's powerful header after 39 minutes, but Dortmund restored their two-goal cushion before the break with Adeyemi's low drive wrongfooting the goalkeeper.

  The visitors set up a nervy finish after being awarded a 74th-minute penalty for a foul by Niklas Sule on Mikkel Kaufmann, with Maximilian Breunig confidently hitting the back of the net.

  But Dortmund earned a spot kick themselves in stoppage time thanks to Omar Traore's handball, and Emre Can coolly slotted in to make it 4-2.

  Data Debrief: Home advantage

  While it looked like Dortmund may be in for a nervy ending after Heidenheim's late penalty, that was not the case, and it means they extend an impressive home record.

  The Black and Yellow are unbeaten in 37 Bundesliga home games on a Friday since a 1-0 loss to Schalke in January 2004, which is a league record, level with Werder Bremen between 1984 and 1991). 

  Dortmund are unbeaten so far this campaign, but Heidenheim's six-match winning run in all competitions is now at an end.
