Matthijs de Ligt out for 4 to 6 weeks due to knee injury

The Dutchman has damaged MCL on his knee

The injury gods determined that Matthijs de Ligt, a defender for Bayern Munich, had either a capsular or an MCL damage to his knee. Since they were unable to determine which condition was worse, they reasoned, “Why not both?”

According to the most recent bad news, De Ligt appears to have had “capsule damage” in his knee and an injury to his MCL. According to Bild, the injury is anticipated to keep him unable to play for four to six weeks.

Against Saarbrücken, Matthijs de Ligt suffered damage to his right knee capsule and an MCL injury. It will take the Dutchman four to six weeks to recover.

Due to De Ligt’s terrible season-long streak of bad luck, Bayern Munich’s depth at centre-back will once again be a hot topic of discussion. When Dayot Upamecano plays Borussia Dortmund this weekend, will he be prepared to go?

According to early indications, the Dutchman may have suffered medial collateral ligament damage, which might keep him off for several weeks.

De Light has had a challenging season, starting just five games in all competitions after dropping out of the top 10. His problems are exacerbated by the most recent injury setback.

The Dutchman’s absence exposes the lack of depth in the backline, which is another serious setback for the German champions.

Due to Dayot Upamecano’s hamstring injury, Kim Min-jae serves as the only dependable centre-back selection at the time.

As a stand-in centre-back, Joshua Kimmich replaced the Dutchman, but Bayern could not afford to continue with the same approach because it would leave the club vulnerable in the midfield owing to insufficient depth.

Bayern’s defensive woes have come at a pivotal moment, as they prepare to take on bitter rivals Borussia Dortmund this coming weekend.

Bayern’s confidence may be low following their early DFB-Pokal elimination.
