Bayern Munich’s Aleksandar Pavlovic sidelined until September

Sport Bild reports that Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic will be sidelined through the coming Bundesliga season’s first international break. Pavlovic underwent eye socket surgery last week. The nature of the procedure will keep him out for the duration of the month. A return in September is targeted.

Pavlovic – who missed a number of games last season due to injury and illness – will thus not be an option for Bayern’s Supercup date with Stuttgart, the opening round Pokal fixture against SV Wehen Wiesbaden, or the first two Bundesliga fixtures against RB Leipzig and FC Augsburg. Bayern face Hamburg in their first league match after the break.

Until then, veteran midfielders Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka look to anchor the midfield. Young German phenom Tom Bischof shall also look to take advantage of his chances to earn minutes. FCB head coach Vincent Kompany has been rotating the trio in Bayern’s first two preseason friendlies.
