Baumgartlinger faces long-term lay-off
Bayer 04 will have to manage without midfielder Julian Baumgartlinger long term. The Austria captain has had to undergo another operation on his knee following the cruciate injury suffered in January 2021.
The operation was performed on Monday in Munich by Professor Stefan Hinterwimmer who had previously operated on Baumgartlinger’s cruciate. The 33-year-old will probably only be available again for the start of the second half of the Bundesliga season in January 2022.
