Joshua Kimmich is currently sidelined for the rest of the season with a knee ligament injury, according to reports from Germany's Bild newspaper. The forward, who has been one of the team's most consistent performers this season, will miss out on the majority of Bayern Munich's league and cup fixtures in the coming weeks.
Kimmich had returned to training earlier this month after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ACL, but he hasn't played since then due to his ongoing recovery. The German international has been a key player for Bayern throughout the campaign, scoring 27 goals and providing a valuable touch down in the midfield.
The injury is likely to have a significant impact on the team's performance, as Kimmich is vital to their attack. His presence off the bench can be crucial in times when other players are struggling to make an impact, and his contributions to the team can help them secure points.
While it remains unclear exactly how long Kimmich will be out, there is no doubt that he will miss out on several key fixtures in the upcoming season. The club has already announced that they will play their last home game against Borussia Dortmund on Sunday, October 14th, and that their next two games will be against Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen respectively.
It will be a tough time for Bayern Munich without Kimmich, but they remain optimistic about his return to the field once he is fully recovered. The team has been working closely with medical staff and other experts to ensure that he is fit enough to return to action, and they are confident that he will be ready to take part in the Champions League group stage later this year.
In the meantime, the team will continue to focus on finding a replacement for Kimmich, and they will do everything in their power to get him back into the squad as soon as possible. With so much talent and experience on the team, there is every chance that Kimmich will be able to return to action and contribute to the team's success again.
