ATake a deep breath with Joshua Kimmich. The FC Bayern international was operated on on the outside meniscus of his right knee on Sunday evening and is now certain about the injury and the further course of the rehab.
Accordingly, the medical department of the German record champions assumes that Kimmich will be available again in January, the club said. After suffering a knee injury in the top Bundesliga match at Borussia Dortmund, the 25-year-old will be absent until the end of the year.
At first it could not be ruled out that Kimmich would have to sit out well into the first half of 2021. The key player’s participation in the European Championship, which began on June 11, appeared to be at risk.
Salihamidzic relieved and happy
Bayern reacted relieved that Kimmich’s injury is not as severe as feared. “We are glad that Joshua will probably be available to us again in a few weeks”, said sports director Hasan Salihamidzic in the message: “We will support him as best as possible during his rehab.”
