Sacha Boey and Bayern Munich were undoubtedly hoping for a better start. Recruited at the end of January for €28 million from Galatasaray, the 23-year-old Frenchman was expected to strengthen competition in a position that lacked it. Noussair Mazaroui was not satisfactory, Bouna Sarr, injured in the knee since last May, is not intended to be a starter, and Kimmich was then playing in midfield. 5 days after his signing, he came on against Gladbach (28 minutes), before starting in the clash against Bayer Leverkusen (81 minutes)… as a left piston.
“It’s one of the biggest clubs in the world, a machine for winning titlesdetailed the person concerned on Téléfoot a few days after his arrival. I know that I will be expected, I will not have time to adapt and I am ready to prove myself directly. Indeed, Tuchel immediately trusted him and Boey quite simply aspired to the Euro this summer. “I hope to be there, the Blues make me dream. Playing a competition with my country would be huge. When you're at Bayern Munich, everyone looks at you and it's up to me to perform well. I will do everything to get there.”
2nd muscle injury to left thigh in five weeks
A dream that fades away as the competition approaches, the fault of injuries. While he had hardly missed a single minute during the first part of the season with the Istanbulites (he played all the matches in which he participated, three games missed in total), Boey very quickly been cut off in its tracks. In mid-February, the right side injured his left thigh, “a large tear of a muscle fiber” specified the medical press release from the German club, forcing them to do without the services of their new recruit “in the next weeks.”
Returning to training two weeks ago, the former Rennais watched his partners from the sidelines during the big successes against Mainz (8-1) and Darmstadt (5-2). Why change a team that is winning and qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The Bavarians will face Arsenal on April 9 and 17. Boey is not at all sure he will see this double confrontation. He injured his left thigh again this Wednesday in training. “He tore a muscle bundle,” leaving him on the floor again “in the coming weeks.”
