Bayern Midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic Diagnosed with Mononucleosis

The 20-year-old rising star faces an indefinite absence as he battles the Epstein-Barr virus, adding to a string of recent health setbacks.

Aleksandar Pavlovic, a key player for Bayern Munich and the German national team, has been diagnosed with mononucleosis, also known as Pfeiffer's glandular fever.
The illness, caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, typically results in symptoms such as fever, swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, and fatigue, which can persist for weeks.
Bayern officials, including sporting director Max Eberl, have confirmed that Pavlovic will be sidelined for an undetermined period as he recovers.
This is the latest in a series of health challenges for the 20-year-old, who previously missed time due to a broken collarbone and a severe tonsillitis episode last year.
Despite Pavlovic's absence, Bayern Munich continues to perform strongly, securing a Champions League quarterfinal spot with a commanding win over Bayer Leverkusen.
