Bayern Munich’s medical staff have diagnosed new signing Ismael Saibari with a torn thigh muscle fibre, dealing the Moroccan midfielder an early setback ahead of the new season.
The injury assessment was completed following medical examinations, with the Bundesliga champions confirming that Saibari will begin his rehabilitation programme in Munich after returning from his holiday.
As a result, the 24-year-old is expected to miss Bayern’s pre-season tour of Asia. However, the club remains optimistic that he will rejoin his teammates once the tour concludes, allowing him to continue his recovery and gradually integrate into the squad.
Saibari’s absence represents a temporary delay to his start at the Allianz Arena, but Bayern’s medical team will closely monitor his progress as he works towards full fitness.
The Moroccan international is regarded as an important addition to Bayern’s midfield, and the club will be hoping he returns to action as soon as possible ahead of the competitive campaign.
