Kevin Volland faces long lay-off
2016 is over for Germany international Kevin Volland in terms of playing football. The 24-year-old striker suffered a complex torn thigh muscle in training and is likely to be out of action for eight weeks.
That was confirmed by an MRI scan on Wednesday night. Volland has already started his rehab at the Werkstatt facility at the BayArena.
"Of course, it brings you down at first. But that doesn't help at all. I won't let my head drop, I'll focus on the rehab and do all I can to get fit again as soon as possible."
