Kreuzifix! Injuries shock FC Bayern
The acidis that is inherent in Max Eberl’s words is understandable. « Unfortunately, there is always a risk that players will come back injured during international break – this time it hit us particularly hard, » complains FC Bayern sports director in a press release. From the Munich perspective, the past parking period went really badly. On Wednesday, the club announced that two top performers will fail in the closer and further future. Alphonso Davies tore the cruciate ligament in the right knee in his commitment to Canada against the United States. He has already been operated on. The current season ends for the left -back, when he returned to the field is expected in one year at the earliest.
Dayot Upamecano, on the other hand, is supposed to celebrate your comeback in the course of this season. In the central defender, « free joint bodies in the left knee were found, which will not be available to FC Bayern for several weeks, » reported the Munich. The association is likely to be surprised by both diagnoses. Davies was replaced after twelve minutes on Sunday due to knee pain, but his assistant coach Mauro Biell had said after the game: « He felt something and just didn’t want to risk it at that time. »
It was a precaution. Deeper studies in Munich Now came to a different result. Upamecano, on the other hand, fought for the French national team for 120 minutes on Sunday and ended up with the decisive penalty to Come on to the Nations League transformed. Here, too, the Munich doctors only revealed the injury.
FC Bayern and the personnel emergency
It has not been proven that there is a greater danger to the sporting body when practicing patient duties. Manuel Neuer For example, his muscle fiber torn cheers for his club – Later the injury in training broke open again. Aleksandar Pavlovic has the Pfeiffer glandular fever Probably not involved when he was traveling with the national team. All together, however, ensures that the mood of the Munich mentchines should have leveled off pretty well within a few weeks.
In February the Munich tangled visiblesaved themselves with a last minute goal from Davies against Celtic Glasgow in the round of 16 Champions League And were lucky that the Leverkuseners in the Bundesliga were preventing the final in the direct duel. A short Bavarian high phase followedwho believed that the Munich team were one of the top favorites on the title in the premier class. Faith gave way to know that this is not the case. In the league, Bayern let their opponents come to six points thanks to two dignified games and in the Champions League the team was already in duel with Inter Milan due to the numerous personnel absences.
Coach Vincent Kompany has to recover his team. This is not a big challenge. Pavlovic has been going on for weeks and months Awarded by Leon Goretzka. Eric dier has proven his suitability as a central defender several times and in Hiroki Ito, Raphael Guerreiro and Josip Stanisic have several alternatives to Davies. Jonas Urbig will continue to replace Manuel Neuer in the goal. The problem with this: there is no qualitative upgrade in any single position. In addition, the orientation of the game will also change.
FC Bayern lacks speed in defense
Davies’s speed made the risk to be able to defend very offensive. In case of doubt, the Canadian gets heaking opponents again. With its passes between the lines, Upamecano finds loopholes that the lines are not even looking for. Where Pavlovic continues to run the ball smoothly, Goretzka is more likely to meet his relay function on a defensive way. Cruciate ligament rupture and free joint bodies raise the game of FC Bayern. Suddenly the championship doesn’t seem safe anymore. The game plan still has games against Dortmund and Leipzig. Finally, they remained victorious against Bochum and Union Berlin.
« Our squad is strong and will absorb these failures. We will now move closer together. The quality is there to continue to pursue our great goals, » Eberl says. There is hardly anything else left to get this moody mood amplitude to climb again.
