Both attacking players picked up injuries in the first half of Saturday’s 2-2 Bundesliga top-of-the-table draw against Borussia Dortmund and had to come off. “Both injuries are fairly serious,” said board member for sport Max Eberl immediately after the final whistle. Thorough examinations confirmed his fears.<\/p>\n
In a challenge with BVB goalkeeper Gregor Kobel, Saibari tore the syndesmosis ligament in his right ankle. The 25-year-old Moroccan has already undergone successful surgery. An injury of this kind usually keeps a player out for three months. Gnabry suffered a muscle injury in the back of his left thigh and is likely to return in one to two months.<\/p>\n
Bayern Munich give no update on Michael Olise<\/p>\n
Bayern Munich have given no update on Michael Olise. The 24-year-old Frenchman also came off against BVB after picking up a knock and is understood to have complained of knee problems. Whether Olise will be available for Tuesday’s Champions League match against Atletico Madrid remains unclear.<\/p>\n
Alongside Saibari and Gnabry, Luis Diaz and Jamal Musiala will definitely be absent. Diaz is expected to return at the end of November following a torn muscle bundle, while Musiala could make his comeback from a torn muscle fibre as early as next Saturday against FSV Mainz 05. That leaves Harry Kane and Lennart Karl as the only attacking players definitely fit for the match against Atletico.<\/p>\n
First-choice goalkeeper Manuel Neuer may be available again on Tuesday. His deputy Jonas Urbig was also hurt against Dortmund when Carney Chukwuemeka’s knee struck him in the face during a challenge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Both attacking players picked up injuries in the first half of Saturday’s 2-2 Bundesliga top-of-the-table draw against Borussia…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":663672,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[14532,14537,272849,85,46,262952,105],"class_list":["post-663671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-bayern-munich","tag-bundesliga","tag-i-saibari","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-s-gnabry","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=663671"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663671\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/663672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=663671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=663671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=663671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
