FC Bayern and defender Sacha Boey’s bad luck with injuries continues. As the Munich team announced on Tuesday, the Frenchman suffered a ligament injury in his left ankle during training. The 24-year-old right-back is out “until further notice”. Boey had already missed almost two months this season due to a torn meniscus in his left knee.
The permanently injured Boey moved from the Istanbul club Galatasaray to Munich last January for a fee of 30 million euros, but was hardly used in the six months that followed. First he was out because of a torn muscle fiber, and shortly afterwards because of a torn muscle bundle. He has only appeared in eight competitive games for Bayern since his move.
Joao Palhinha and Serge Gnabry, on the other hand, made progress towards a comeback. Both were able to train with the ball again for the first time on Tuesday. Palhinha tore his adductor muscles while playing for the Portuguese national team in mid-November. Gnabry was recently missing due to knee problems. Neither will be used in the last preliminary round game on Friday against RB Leipzig.
