Bayern Munich loanees remain busy in the final weeks of the seasons throughout Europe. Nübel came up big in a pivotal match with a Champions League spot on the line, Ibrahimović and Heidenheim are still alive, and Palhinha and Peretz are fighting two different battles to help their teams play in next season’s Premier League. See what the rest of the loanees and their teams accomplished this week:

There are 11 players from on loan from the first team.

There are three players from the first team on loan to the German Bundesliga: Alexander Nübel, Arijon Ibrahimović, and Armando Sieb.

Alexander Nübel – VfB Stuttgart

Nübel started for Stuttgart at home against Leverkusen with a Champions League spot on the line. Leverkusen scored a goal in the first minute to make things nervy. Nübel went the rest of the match without conceding again. He made two saves to help his team earn a 2-1 lead at halftime. Stuttgart went up 3-1 in the second half and Nübel kept the guests from scoring again with two late saves to win by that score.

Stuttgart moved into fourth place with the win. They are even on points with Hoffenheim, but have a five-goal advantage in goal differential. They travel to face Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.

Arijon Ibrahimović – 1. FC Heidenheim

Ibrahimović for Heidenheim in a pivotal match away to Köln. He assisted the opening goal in the eighth minute but the lead was erased just two minutes later. Ibrahimović scored a goal of his own in the 28th minute that would go on to be the winning goal. On the day, he had two shots on goal and created three chances for his teammates to shoot. He was subbed off in the 76th minute with his team up 3-1. Neither team found a goal in the last quarter hour and Heidenheim secured a huge 3-1 away win.

Heidenheim will face Sieb’s Mainz at home on the last day. They need a win and some help to climb out of the drop zone, but the playoff spot is the highest they can reach.

Armindo Sieb – 1. FSV Mainz 05

Sieb was on the bench for Mainz’ home match against Union Berlin. He entered the match in the 81st minute with the match level 1-1. He had one shot attempt — blocked — and completed all but one pass with just eight passes. He was not only unable to help his team find a winner, but also saw his team concede two late goals. They fell 3-1 in what would be a historic result. Union’s manager, Marie-Louise Eta, became the first female head coach to win a match in the top five European leagues.

Mainz will be away to Heidenheim on Saturday with nothing significant to play for.

England – Premier League

There are two players on loan to the English Premier League: João Palhinha and Jonah Kusi-Asare.

João Palhinha – Tottenham

Palhinha started for Spurs and played the full 90 minutes at home against Leeds. He had two shots — one just over the bar and one blocked — but could not create any chances for his teammates to shoot. Most of his contributions came on the defensive side. He had five tackles, one clearance, two interceptions, and five recoveries. Former Bavarian Loan Works alum, Mathys Tel, scored a world-class goal but also made a terrible mistake that led to a penalty, which was scored. Tottenham were forced to split the points with the 1-1 draw.

Tottenham remain in 17th place, now two points above West Ham. Their next match will be to cross-town rivals, Chelsea, on Tuesday, May 19.

Jonah Kusi-Asare – Fulham

Kusi-Asare started on the bench for Fulham at home against Bournemouth, and did not enter the match until the 83rd minute. By the time he entered the match, both teams had a red card and the guests took a 1-0 lead. He had just four touches in the short time he was on the pitch and was unable to help his team find an equalizer. Fulham fell at home 1-0.

Fulham sit in 11th place with two matches to go and have just a slim chance at catching up to European spot. They travel to face Wolves on Sunday.

Daniel Peretz is the only player on loan to England’s Championship.

Daniel Peretz – Southampton

Peretz was in goal for Southampton for the first leg of their playoff semi-finals on Saturday away to Middlesborough. He saved all four shots on goal that he faced to earn a huge shutout. He was one of the only bright spots for Southampton. His teammates did not even record a shot on goal and the match ended in a scoreless draw, with all to play for in the return leg on Tuesday.

Peretz was in goal again at home for the second leg. He faced only three shots on target — conceding a goal in the fifth minute. Middlesborough were unable to really test Peretz for the next 115 minutes. His team equalized in first half stoppage time but neither team found a goal in the second half. The match went into extra time and did not have a breakthrough until 116th minute when Southampton’s Shea Charles put a ball into the box that missed everyone and made it all the way to the back of the net. Peretz just had a couple high balls to come out and claim but was not really tested. He received a yellow for time wasting but helped his team clinch the 2-1 win.

Southampton will play in the playoff final against Hull City at Wembley on Saturday. Winner goes to the Premier League next season.

Bryan Zaragoza is the only player on loan to Serie A.

Bryan Zaragoza – AS Roma

Zaragoza was not in the matchday squad for Roma’s 3-2 win away to Parma. He is listed out with a knee injury until late May.

Sacha Boey is the only player on loan to the Turkish Super Lig.

Boey was on the bench but did not make it onto the pitch for Galatasaray’s 4-2 league-clinching win at home over Antalyaspor.

He did not have a shot attempt nor did he create a chance for his teammates to shoot. He also completed less than half of his passes but remained on the pitch for the whole 90 minutes. His fellow loanee and teammate, Jonanthan Asp, helped Grasshopper find a 3-2 comeback win (see below).

With the win, Grasshopper clinch the 5th place spot — relegation playoff — and send Winterthur down to the second division. Grasshopper will finish the regular season away to Lausanne.

Nürnberg will travel to face Aséko’s Hannover 96 on Sunday.

He completed 93% of his passes and held the hosts to a shutout for the rest of the match. He contributed on defense with a tackle, an interception and 11 clearances — nine with his head!

Asp had a chance to equalize when his team earned a penalty in the 66th minute. He put the attempt right down the middle and it was saved. Grasshopper was unable to find a goal and fell 2-1 on the road.

Asp started again for Grasshopper in a key match Tuesday to clinch the relegation playoff spot. The guests, Winterthur, jumped out to an early lead with two goals in the first ten minutes. He had four shots — two on target and two blocked — and created two chances while completing 89% of his passes. His most important contribution was an assist in the 70th minute, which capped off three goals in ten minutes for Grasshopper. They held off their last place guests for the last 20 minutes and won 3-2.

With the win, Grasshopper clinch the 5th place spot — relegation playoff — and send Winterthur down to the second division. Grasshopper will finish the regular season away to Lausanne.
