Bayern defender Stanisic will be sidelined for several weeks due to a knee ligament rupture

Bayern Munich announced on Tuesday that Josip Stanisic, the defender who returned from a successful loan stint at Bayer Leverkusen last season, has been sidelined for an extended period of time due to a collateral ligament rupture in his right knee.

On Monday, the 24-year-old Croatian international sustained an injury during a training session. He was instrumental in Leverkusen’s unblemished domestic campaign last season, during which he secured the league and Cup double.

The Bayern defender sustained a collateral ligament tear in his right knee during training on Monday, necessitating a period of recovery that will surpass several weeks. “The medical department of FC Bayern conducted an examination that yielded this outcome,” Bayern stated.
Bayern Munich will open the Bundesliga season on Sunday by visiting VfL Wolfsburg.
