The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international suffered a serious injury and could be on the treatment table for almost half-a-year following his blow in the game against Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena
Bayern Munich central defender Holger Badstuber could be out of action for up to six months after sustaining cruciate ligament rupture against defending champions’ Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. He got injured during the first-half
of the clash and was replaced by Jerome Boateng.
This comes as shocking news for the Bundesliga giants as Badstuber is one of their key players in defence. He has featured in almost all the games for the Bavarian outfit. However, Bayern signed a number of players in the summer
transfer window to strengthen their squad.
Therefore, Der FCB can cope well with the loss of their star defender. They bagged Brazilian national http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dante-c10236 from Borussia Monchengladbach and he has impressed a lot at his new club. Moreover, they also have Boateng who is also
a very decent player and veteran http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Van-Buyten-c10095 to provide cover for the young starlet.
Badstuber looked like he hurt his knee when challenging BVB wonder-kid Mario Gotze in the 37th minute, and as a result, was instantly substituted as his side mulled over his injury. Bayern were able to draw 1-1 in the
exciting match at home against the reigning champions.
The German club announced that the centre-back is looking likely to spend up to six months on the sidelines. They confirmed that he will miss almost all of the remaining campaign but could return before the season end if he recovers
in time.
The defender is frustrated with the lay-off as he returned from injury last month following his thigh problem in the loss against Bayer Leverkusen. He has played 17 matches for the Bundesliga outfit this term, and is unlikely to
feature again this season.
The weekend encounter resulted in a 1-1 stalemate. Midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toni-Kroos-c35425 handed the hosts a one-goal advantage but Gotze levelled the game after a few minutes to secure a crucial away point for the DFB-Pokal champions. Dortmund
currently trail Bayern by 11 points in the league table.
