Bayern Rule Out Josip Stanisic With Partial Knee Ligament Tear as Kompany Sets Cover Plan

Kompany targets a return after the international break.

Overview

  • The club confirmed a partial rupture of the medial ligament in Stanisic’s right knee sustained in the 3-1 Champions League win over Chelsea.
  • Kompany said the defender will miss a few games and expressed hope he could be back after the international break.
  • Media reports project an absence of roughly one to three weeks, which has not been specified by Bayern.
  • Sacha Boey is poised to start at right-back and Konrad Laimer is expected to fill in at left-back against Hoffenheim, with Raphael Guerreiro a major doubt.
  • Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito have only just returned to training and are not yet fully match-fit, leaving Bayern thin at left-back.
