A total of 25 Bayern players are currently out on loan at clubs across Europe as they seek playing time and look to drive their development. In Loan Watch, fcbayern.com provides regular updates about their performances away from Munich. Last week there were notable displays by Nestory Irankunda and Ritzy Hülsmann.
Nestory Irankunda: Fourth straight assist
Australian forward Irankunda is on a roll at the moment, providing an assist for the fourth game in a row following his loan move to Grasshoppers in Switzerland, where he has so far made seven appearances. The 19-year-old set up his side’s first equaliser in their 2-2 draw against Lausane and played 76 minutes on the right wing. The Zurich club have only lost one of Irankunda’s seven games (one win, five draws), but they remain second bottom in the Swiss Super League.
