Bayern’s Goretzka injured, doubtful for Euro 2020 – report
Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka will be ruled out for the rest of the season and could miss the start of Euro 2020 after picking up a thigh injury, German media reported Sunday.
Goretzka played just 10 minutes after coming on during Bayern’s 6-0 win over Borussia Moenchengladbach on Saturday before going off again with an apparent injury.
According to German magazine Kicker, the 26-year-old tore a thigh muscle and will now be out of action for the last two weeks of the Bundesliga season.
“The Bayern player now appears to face a race against time” to be fit for the start of the European Championship, wrote the magazine, citing sources in Munich.
