Bayern Confirms Injury to 18-Year-Old Felipe Chávez, Casting Doubt on Peru Call-Up

Peru had moved to reserve the Bayern II midfielder for October friendlies under interim coach Manuel Barreto.

Overview

  • FC Bayern’s official Campus account on X announced Chávez was injured and unavailable for the home match against Würzburg, without specifying the type of injury or recovery timeline.
  • His availability for Peru’s October window, including the friendly against Chile, is uncertain despite the Peruvian federation’s prior reservation letter to the club.
  • The setback may sideline him from upcoming Bayern Munich II fixtures and UEFA Youth League matches, according to local reports.
  • Chávez is an 18-year-old midfielder who stands out for Bayern II, has trained with the first team, and featured in a preseason friendly under Vincent Kompany against Grasshopper.
  • He has logged eight appearances this season across the Regionalliga and Youth League with three goals and two assists, and reports suggest November friendlies could be an option if he recovers in time.
