Joshua Kimmich is currently missing from FC Bayern due to injury.
But what exactly does the national player have?
There is no quick return for now.
Munich – FC Bayern is once again dragging its feet through the season.
The German record champions suffered four injuries in the last two games alone.
While Konrad Laimer (torn calf muscle bundle), Dayot Upamecano (torn thigh muscle fiber) and Kingsley Coman (torn knee ligament) will be out for weeks, there is no exact diagnosis for Joshua Kimmich.
Kimmich has to wear an arm sling
The 28-year-old fell painfully on his left shoulder in the final phase of the catch-up game against Union Berlin and therefore had to sit out the weekend against FC Augsburg.
When visiting the fan club on Sunday, Kimmich also showed up with an arm sling.
Even a comeback on Saturday against Borussia Mönchengladbach won't work.
Sports director Christoph Freund confirmed this when introducing new signing Sacha Boey.
“It’s not possible,” said the Austrian.

Kimmich's healing process is difficult to predict
But how long will Kimmich be missing?
When asked whether Bayern's mastermind would be missing from the top game in Leverkusen the following week, Freund explained that Kimmich's injured shoulder "needed to be immobilized.
We hope that it is for the foreseeable future and we will see how it develops.”
Tuchel previously explained that it was difficult to predict an exact healing process for Kimmich.
The national player is being treated conservatively.
A lot probably depends on Kimmich's perception of pain.
