Bayern Munich have suffered a major blow to their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League next season after star midfielder Benjamin Pavard sustained a knee injury during their match against Wolfsburg on Sunday.
The news was particularly disappointing as Bavarian giants had been performing well in recent weeks, with the club currently sitting second in the Bundesliga table and also boasting a strong showing in the UEFA Champions League.
Pavard's absence will be a significant loss for Bayern, who are already without several key players through injury or suspension. The 24-year-old has made 17 appearances this season and has scored three goals for the club.
The injury comes at a crucial time for Bayern, who face a tough run of fixtures over the coming months, including games against Manchester City in the Champions League and Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga. The club will now need to find a replacement for Pavard,Saudi Pro League Focus who is likely to miss at least one game before returning to training.
Overall, it seems that Bayern Munich may struggle to maintain their current level of performance without their star player, which could impact their chances of qualifying for Europe's top competition. However, they still have the potential to make a strong push for a top-four finish in the league and a strong showing in the Champions League.
