Max Eberl recently provided updates on two key Bayern Munich players. He shared that Leroy Sané, recovering from a groin injury, is expected to return after the international break. Eberl also assured that if Leon Goretzka remains with the club, he will be fully integrated into the squad and not benched. These updates come as Bayern Munich navigates ongoing squad adjustments and injury challenges.
Max Eberl gives an update on Leroy Sané’s injury status
Max Eberl has shared a potential timeline for Leroy Sané’s return to action after his injury sidelined him for the entire pre-season.
Leroy Sané had groin surgery last month to address the problem that affected him during the latter part of last season and the European Championship. He rejoined team training earlier this week, raising hopes for a quick return to the squad.
Max Eberl, Bayern Munich’s board member for sport, has indicated that Leroy Sané will likely return after the international break. If this is the case, the 28-year-old winger would miss Bayern’s Bundesliga matches against VfL Wolfsburg and SC Freiburg. Eberl mentioned, “I don’t know if it makes sense to throw him in before the international break.”
Sané missed several games last season due to a pubic bone injury that troubled him throughout the campaign’s second half. He played despite the pain during crucial UEFA Champions League matches. The injury also impacted his performance at this summer’s European Championship, leading him to opt for surgery after Germany’s quarterfinal exit.
Bayern Munich is hopeful that Sané can overcome his injury issues and return to the form he showed in the first half of last season. As an important player for the team this season, his potential return could significantly bolster the team’s attack alongside stars like Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala, and Harry Kane.
Bayern’s Eberl: Goretzka Won’t Be Benched if He Stays
Following Bayern Munich’s 4-0 victory over Grasshopper Club Zürich, board member Max Eberl addressed the media to update fans on the latest buzz: the status of midfielder Leon Goretzka.
Goretzka, who performed well as a center-back against Grasshopper Club Zürich, was informed by the team that he was no longer needed. However, with Josip Stanišić’s injury, the situation might be shifting. This clarification should make the audience feel more informed and knowledgeable about the current situation with Goretzka.
According to Eberl, as Bild journalist Michel Schröer reported, Goretzka won’t be sidelined if he remains with the team. This reassurance should make fans feel secure and confident about Goretzka’s future with the team. He will participate in training and matches, with Eberl stating, “If he stays, he will be a full member of the squad.”
Eberl provided additional details to Sky Sports journalist Kerry Hau, explaining what it would mean for Goretzka to stay. He said, “At Bayern Munich, there’s no second training group. Leon is a great player and played well today. If he stays, he will be a full member of our squad.”
Abendzeitung’s Maximilian Koch recorded Eberl addressing the situation, emphasizing that the club has never aimed to make things difficult for Goretzka. Eberl stated, “We never spoke badly about Leon. He has done great things for FC Bayern. Competitive situations are quite normal in football. Leon is a full member of the team. We only hinted that it could be difficult.”
So, what does this mean? Bayern Munich likely wants to sell Goretzka, but the Stanišić injury has complicated matters. Goretzka’s versatility, as he can add depth in central midfield and as a center-back if necessary, could be valuable for Vincent Kompany if more injuries occur.
