Lennart Karl Injury Update: Injury Details, Recovery Time & Impact on His Season

The German giants have been hit with an injury concern recently as one of their young superstars, Lennart Karl, has suffered a muscle fibre tear in the back of his right thigh. The news of Lennart Karl injury comes just after the Bavarians' stupendous outing against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, where they clinched a 2-1 win, although Karl didn't feature in that game.

The moods might have been dampened a bit as Karl was progressing brilliantly this season under Vincent Kompany, scoring 9 goals and bagging 7 assists in just 36 matches. Bayern Munich took to their official Twitter handle to confirm the news, after consulting the medical team on the extent of his injury.

However, they haven't specified the duration for which this Lennart Karl injury will keep him out of action. According to a Sky Germany journalist, Kerry Hau, Lennart Karl is expected to be out for three weeks, but this is just speculation. We will keep you updated once we get the exact timeline for which Lennart Karl will not be available.
