Injury Watch: Bayern Munich crew continue return to fitness during the international break

Just like that, another international break has decided to squeeze itself into club football’s schedule. This is greatly beneficial to players out injured, not so much for the starting players and Kylian Mbappé. In the case of Bayern Munich, coach Vincent Kompany gave everyone who stayed at Sabener Straße the day off, but three players decided to put in an extra shift:

Sacha Boey and Aleksandar Pavlović both did individual sessions with the ball in the morning, while Josip Stanišić did laps around the training ground. All three have been sidelined of late with injury but are edging closer to returning to the fold.

Pavlović’s injury was the one that impacted the team the most as its performance faltered, while Boey’s and Stanišić’s left the Bavarians without defensive options. Good thing that the defense is starting to hold up against teams.
