FC Bayern Munich faced Borussia Dortmund on Saturday evening in the Bundesliga’s top match. The record champions had to deal with several injuries at once. 

Serge Gnabry suffered a thigh muscle injury and will be out for four to six weeks. The situation is even worse for Ismael Saibari, as the Moroccan tore his syndesmotic ligament and will be sidelined for at least three months.

This injury crisis is hitting Bayern hard, as Manuel Neuer, Luis Díaz, and Jamal Musiala were already sidelined. The situation is precarious, and the roster is already thin.

The uncertainty surrounding Olise continues

In the closing stages of the match against BVB (2–2), Michael Olise also had to leave the field early. He was limping, and his gait was far from steady even as he left the stadium. No diagnosis has been made yet, and FC Bayern has not yet provided a prognosis for Tuesday’s Champions League match against Atlético Madrid.

According to a report in BILD, no decision has yet been made on exactly how to proceed. He had complained of mild pain in his knee. According to the report, however, there is internal hope that the Frenchman will be fit in time for the Atlético match. That is not guaranteed, though.

“With Olise, we believe it’s not that serious. But it’s relatively hard to say that right after games like this, with all the adrenaline. Let’s just assume it’s not that serious,” explained Max Eberl, Bayern’s sporting director, after Saturday’s big match.

If there’s at least no structural injury, that would be good news for Bayern. The question is, though, whether they should take a risk, since otherwise only Lennart Karl and Harry Kane are currently fit on offense. Another injury—caused by putting too much strain on Olise too soon—must be avoided at all costs.

Concerns could also grow in goal. In addition to Manuel Neuer, who likely won’t be fit for Tuesday’s game, Bayern are also worried about Jonas Urbig. He was struck in the face by Carney Chukwuemeka’s knee during the match against BVB and appeared dazed.
