Bayern Munich midfielder, Leon Goretzka, fractured his hand during the team’s 3-1 victory against Mainz, and he will miss the team’s upcoming games.
The degree of the damage was confirmed by a scan, according to Bayern, and the player “underwent a successful operation.”
The length of the player’s unavailability was not disclosed by the club.
Goretzka sustained the hand injury immediately after scoring Bayern’s third goal in Mainz, after returning from Germany’s international duty.
Goretzka’s injury comes at a bad moment for the German champions, who already have a number of players sidelined.
