"Bayern Munich expect to be without Konrad Laimer for several weeks after the right-back sustained a calf tear during Wednesday's 3-1 win at Koln. During the victory, which saw Bayern match their own record for the best start to a Bundesliga season (47 points after 17 matches), Laimer appeared to sustain a lower leg injury. Bayern boss Vincent Kompany said afterwards that while knocks to team-mates Harry Kane and Hiroki Ito did not appear to be serious, Laimer would undergo a scan."
"Bayern are short of alternative options in the position with Josip Stanisic and Joshua Kimmich already sidelined, while Laimer has been a reliable contributor in 2025-26. The Austria international has made 30 appearances for Bayern this season, starting 25 times, with only Kane and Michael Olise (32 apiece) featuring more often for Kompany's side. Laimer has scored two goals and provided seven assists, with only Olise (15), Luis Diaz and Serge Gnabry (both 10) topping that latter figure."
Konrad Laimer has torn a muscle in his left calf and will be sidelined for the foreseeable future after sustaining the injury during Bayern Munich's 3-1 win at Koln. Scans confirmed the tear and reports indicate a potential absence of between two and eight weeks depending on severity. Bayern face a selection headache at right-back with Josip Stanisic and Joshua Kimmich already sidelined. Laimer has been a regular contributor in 2025-26, making 30 appearances with 25 starts, scoring two goals and providing seven assists. Bayern matched their best start to a Bundesliga season with 47 points from 17 matches.
