After starting the quarterfinals of the League of Nations between France and Croatia in the shoes of a replacement, Dayot Upamecano finally took the place of Ibrahima Konaté as soon as the first leg is half. The central defender of Bayern Munich then did not drop his place until the end of this double confrontation against the Croats. But he returned injured in Bavaria, as confirmed by his club this Wednesday.
Bayern published a press release to give news of its troops. And for Dayot Upamecano, they are not good. The tricolor international has passed medical examinations that have revealed “Free body in the left knee joint”. A fairly disturbing diagnosis, even if the German club has not given more details or mentioned any operation. On the other hand, he indicated that Dayot Upamecano would probably be absent “Several weeks”.
A blow for the Munich Defense, especially due to the deadlines that arrive. Bayern Munich will notably face Inter Milan in the quarter -final of the Champions League, with a first leg scheduled for April 8 and a return round fixed for April 16. Leader of Bundesliga with six points ahead of his runner -up (Le Bayer Leverkusen), the Bavarian club can see the championship coming, but he still has a frantic sequence of meetings that is looming.
End of season for Davies
Depending on what doctors will say, and if the initial diagnosis is confirmed, Dayot Upamecano should miss at least two to three Bundesliga meetings. And it is not the only tile for Bayern since for its part, Alphonso Davies was the victim of a tear of the cross-knee cross-knee during the match won by his Canada selection against the United States. For the left side, the season is already over confirmed Bayern.
The Munich coach, Vincent Kompany, will therefore have to do without two masterpieces of his defense in the coming weeks. Not good news for the Belgian tactician whose team remains on a defeat and a draw in the league.
