Injury update: Stanisic sidelined for weeks
On Monday, Bayern Munich confirmed that one of its stars suffered an injury that will keep him out for an undetermined period.
The club released an official statement saying Josip Stanisic will be temporarily unavailable.
The statement added that the right-back injured his right ankle ligaments during Sunday's Bundesliga match against Wolfsburg.
What it means for Bayern going forward
The club medical team confirmed the diagnosis.
According to German daily Bild, Bayern expect the Croatian to be out for about three weeks.
Stanisic has featured 19 times this season across all competitions, scoring twice and providing three assists.
He played in Bayern's first match after the winter break, a resounding 8-1 win over Wolfsburg.
On the bright side, if injuries were a transfer market, Bayern would have signed a full squad by now.
Relax fans, Stanisic will be back quicker than the next patch note—just in time to stretch those ankles again.
