According to the Kicker report, Bayern Munich views these muscle injuries for young, academy players as an \u201cobvious problem\u201d and no longer views the string of setbacks as mere coincidence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Karl\u2019s injury at the World Cup has made the situation \u201ceven more pressing\u201d per Kicker and Bayern Munich is planning an internal review to examine why the injuries are happening and how they can help prevent them in the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Muscle injuries are a part of sports. However, the volume of them occurring with the club\u2019s young players could be something for the Bavarians to explore. On the senior team, there were no shortage of strains or pulls as well, with the calf area being an issue for players like Manuel Neuer and Konrad Laimer, while other players dealt with hamstring, quad, and adductor issues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">An oddity with the Karl injury is not necessarily that he picked it up while shooting, but that he became the second Bayern Munich taken out of the World Cup due an injury sustained while practicing shooting. Serge Gnabry picked up an adductor injury while working on his penalty kicks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Is there a problem with training methods, stretching regimens, or something else? Bayern Munich is aiming to find out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on <a href=\"https:\/\/shows.acast.com\/bavarian-podcast-works1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Acast<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/5kHW7eDJSF2sGA1O6gKxvB\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/bavarian-podcast-works\/id1460036325\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple<\/a>, or any leading podcast distributor\u2026 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When Lennart Karl went down with a muscle injury that was bad enough to make him miss the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":724787,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[71589,22971,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-724786","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-bayern-munich-front-office","tag-bayern-munich-injuries","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/724786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=724786"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/724786\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/724787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=724786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=724786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=724786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
