Upamecano faces long spell on the sidelines | OneFootball

Bayern Munich will have to manage without Dayot Upamecano in the coming weeks.

The Bavarian club announced on Wednesday that in addition to Alphonso Davies, who will be out for months with an ACL tear, Dayot Upamecano has returned from international duty with an injury.

Upamecano has been diagnosed with a loose joint in his left knee and will be out of action for several weeks.

“Unfortunately, there's always a risk of players coming back injured during the international break and this time we've been hit particularly hard. The absence of Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano is a blow for FC Bayern,” said Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl on the two injuries.

“Phonzy will get all the support he needs on his way back. We will also be keeping a close eye on Upa in the coming weeks and expect him to be back soon. Our squad is strong and will make up for these losses. We will now work even closer together. The quality is there to continue to pursue our big goals.”
