Hansi Flick explains Pavard’s training injury
FC Bayern has started team training to prepare for the knockout games in the Champions League. Benjamin Pavard was injured in the process. Trainer Hansi Flick explains the situation.
After his injury in training, the diagnosis for Benjamin Pavard is now available. The FC Bayern defender is said to be out for weeks. Trainer Hans-Dieter Flick faces difficult personnel decisions.
Dhe FC Bayern apparently has to do without world champion Benjamin Pavard in the decisive phase of the Champions League.
The French defender suffered a ligament tear on his left ankle during training on Sunday in the newspaper “L’Equipe” and will be out for four to six weeks. The sheet refers to the club’s medical department.
This would mean that Pavard would no longer be available to the Munich team for the rest of the season. Bayern want to make the quarter-finals perfect in the round of 16 second leg against Chelsea on August 8, after a 3-0 in the first leg the chances are good. Then the final tournament of the last eight teams will take place in Portugal.
Personal puzzle for Flick
The French defender was injured in Sunday’s first team training session for the double winner. The 24-year-old suffered the injury in a training game at noon.
According to club information on Sunday, Pavard suffered a ligament injury to the left tarsus. The Munich-based company did not make a forecast of the downtime.
Coach Hansi Flick has to think about how to absorb the loss of unrestricted regularity in the right defender position. Real Madrid loaned Álvaro Odriozola has so far been unable to impose himself.
