Niklas Sule Suffers Knee Injury, Bayern Munich Overshadowed by Defender Crisis

DBasia.news –  Bayern Munich must lose Niklas Suele after being held 2-2 by FC Augsburg.

The first ten minutes of the game at the WWK Arena Stadium were like a nightmare for Bayern Munich. Manuel Neuer’s goal was broken into by Marco Richter when the match ran for half a minute. Then, in the 9th minute, Niklas Suele had to leave the field. He twisted his left knee after dueling with Florian Niederlechner.

The central defender did not even wait for the match to end. When the time showed 16:40, he left the WWK Arena Stadium. He walked with crutches and his left knee wrapped in thick bandages.

After the match, coach, Niko Kovac confirmed the knee injury suffered by Niklas Suele. He worried about losing his mainstay center back for a long time.

“It looks like he has a bad injury. From what I heard (from the medical team), there was damage to the knee ligament. We have to wait to see if that also affects other parts of his knee, “said Niko Kovac.

The ex-Eintrcaht Frankfurt coach should be anxious. As the stock of central defender Bayern is not much. If Niklas Suele has to be absent for a while, he would have to rack her brain harder. The options are Lucas Hernandez, Benjamin Pavard, Jerome Boateng, and Javi Martinez. Among the four names, Boateng and Martinez were not too fond of him.

Niklas Suele’s injury is also likely to make Kovac and Bayern Munich’s management a target of fan criticism. They will be attacked as it is so easy to release Mats Hummels to Borussia Dortmund at the start of the season
