The Bavarian giants claimed that their star defender was operated after suffering an injury in the 1-1 draw against reigning champions’ Borussia Dortmund
Bayern Munich have revealed that centre-back Holger Badstuber underwent a surgery on Monday after sustaining a cruciate ligament damage in his right knee. The central defender got injured in the weekend clash with fierce rivals’
Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena when challenging for the ball with Mario Gotze.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international could not carry on playing in the 1-1 stalemate at home and was substituted in place of Jerome Boateng. He is now anticipated to be on the treatment table for at least five months and will be looking to
return before the current season ends.
The injury is a huge setback for Der FCB as the 23-year-old just recovered from a muscle injury more than a week ago. Team trainer Jupp Heynckes insisted that it is a great loss for them as the player was a key element in the side.
However, they have cover available in the shape of Boateng and veteran defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Van-Buyten-c10095.
“It’s a bitter blow,” coach Jupp Heynckes was quoted as saying in an interview.
The boss stated that his team members were stunned as he was just regaining top form. He feels for the young starlet and wished him a smooth recovery. Moreover, club chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge also gave his support to
the youngster and said the whole team is affected by the news.
“The players were very shocked. He was just getting back up to speed. It’s a real choker for the lad,” the former Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Schalke-04-c39204 manager added.
“Naturally, it’s put a real dampener on our evening. He said his studs got stuck in the turf and he felt it go immediately,” the former Bayern Munich, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan and Servette FC striker finally concluded.
The chairman conceded that Badstuber was unlucky to have his cleats got stuck in the ground and knew immediately that it was bad. Die Roten are currently placed at the top of the table, with eight points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen.
