Joshua Kimmich appears to have torn meniscus
Update from November 8th, 1:50 p.m.:
Shock at
Bayern
!
Joshua Kimmich
must have an operation.
According to tz information, there is a suspicion of a
meniscus tear
in the right knee.

Should the suspicion prove true, Kimmich would have been lucky, because a cruciate ligament injury would have resulted in a significantly longer downtime.
Joshua Kimmich with ligament injury?
Update from November 8, 10:50 a.m.:
Fears for
Joshua Kimmich
!
Bavaria's "mentality monster" got it hard yesterday.
In a duel with Dortmund's giant Erling Haaland, Kimmich injured his knee and had to be replaced with the help of the doctors limping.
How long the 25-year-old will be out will be shown today after
investigations in Munich
.
Should Kimmich suffer a
ligament
injury, like the
picture
suspected, the crucial question is whether the tape has broken or not.
In the worst case, the midfielder would have to undergo an operation, which could result in
downtime of two to three months
.
With a stretch, the break would only be two to four weeks.
Update from November 7th, 9.48pm:
Joshua Kimmich's knee injury is the big
topic of
conversation after the Bundesliga summit between Dortmund and Bavaria.
At first, all soccer fans should have jumped.
But there is hope for the national player.
Update #Kimmich: Injury is probably not as bad as the pictures suggest.
The #FCBayern player will fly back to Munich with the team tonight, where further investigations will take place.
The exact diagnosis should then be given on Sunday.

Whether and which injury
Joshua Kimmich
sustained
during the action in a duel with
Erling Haaland
cannot currently be said.
The national player is said to have spoken to his teammates at halftime.
"I overstretched my knee," he is
quoted
by
bild.de
: "That doesn't look good at all."
However, those responsible at FC Bayern did not want to confirm a serious injury after the game.
Neither
Hansi Flick
nor
Manuel Neuer
or
Leon Goretzka
wanted to speculate and hope for a quick recovery.
Joshua Kimmich: Bayern star injured in the knee - specialist explains the procedure
TV channel
Sky
had after the game with
Dr.
Ellermann switched on
a
knee specialist
from Pforzheim live.
“First of all, a
function
check was carried out, more precisely an inner band check, and at that moment the colleague gives the replacement sign.
Something relevant seems to have happened ", said the experienced doctor about the procedure of the medical department on the field:" Then a
cruciate ligament test was
done, but it was not exactly recognizable.
Obviously there is a relevant injury. "
However,
Ellermann
also held back
with a possible remote diagnosis
.
“You can tell pretty quickly when something is broken, even if the player on the field is still full of adrenaline.
Difficult it is an accurate
diagnosis
to
“, he explains in the video slot.
However, he gives Bayern fans little hope: “An experienced colleague can make a preliminary diagnosis in such a situation.
In that case he apparently
suspected
a
ligament injury
and therefore indicated the replacement. "
Kimmich suspects after @ BILD_Sport information: ligament injury in the knee.
Whether it is cracked or not is an open question.

According to the
picture
, the suspicion of a ligament injury in the knee is close.
As bitter as it sounds: In this case, Kimmich would probably still be lucky in an accident.
A cruciate ligament tear would be much worse.

The fans already suspected the worst on the net.
Kimmich's knee was severely overstretched in the scene.
A
cruciate ligament tear
is quite possible with such movements - but also not mandatory.
The national player could also have injured his inner or outer ligament.
