Overview

• The club confirmed Bischof will miss Friday’s Bundesliga opener against RB Leipzig after undergoing appendix surgery at short notice.
• Official communications did not provide a return date, with the team stating only that he is out for the foreseeable future.
• Media coverage described the procedure as an emergency appendectomy, though the club statement remains the primary confirmed source.
• A later report from Sky Germany, cited by Bavarian Football Works, says Bayern expects him to be sidelined until after the international break, which would include the cup tie at Wiesbaden and the league trip to Augsburg.
• Bischof joined from TSG Hoffenheim in June and had begun featuring for Bayern, including appearances in the Club World Cup and the DFL-Supercup, while manager Vincent Kompany appeared unaware of the surgery during his pre-match press conference.
