Bayern Confirm Konrad Laimer Torn Calf Muscle Fiber, Out 'For the Time Being'

The diagnosis leaves Bayern short at right-back heading into the Leipzig match.

Overview

  • FC Bayern said the 28-year-old tore a muscle fiber in his left calf during Wednesday’s 3-1 win at 1. FC Köln.
  • The club said an examination by its medical department confirmed the injury.
  • Bayern described Laimer as unavailable "for the time being" and did not give a return timeframe.
  • Right-back depth is already thin, with Josip Stanišić (knee), Sacha Boey (illness) and Joshua Kimmich (ankle) currently out.
  • Reporting indicates Kimmich could be available against RB Leipzig as Vincent Kompany weighs short-term cover.
