As was feared, Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlović will sit out the rest of 2024 according to a report from Sky Sport (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
While FCBayern.com referenced that Pavlović would have to miss “the coming weeks” on Saturday after the injury, speculation quickly mounted that the broken collarbone would take a lot longer to heal.
Bild issued a report stating that Pavlović will miss three months and Sky Sport’s latest information seems to align with Bild:
The loss of Pavlović could offer an opportunity for João Palhinha, Leon Goretzka, and Konrad Laimer (mostly Palhinha), but the loss of development for the youngster is a tough hit to take for the Bavarians.
Pavlović left a note for fans on his Instagram account:
