Sacha Boey faces a period on the sidelines due to a hamstring problem
Sacha Boey, the 23-year-old French full-back recently signed from Galatasaray, is set to miss several weeks of action due to a hamstring injury sustained during training with Bayern Munich. The injury diagnosis, made by Bayern's medical department, is a "large tear" in Boey's left hamstring.
Boey was an unused substitute in Bayern's 1-0 loss against Lazio in the Champions League on Wednesday evening, following his second appearance for the club in a 3-0 Bundesliga defeat against Bayer Leverkusen last Saturday.
Thomas Tuchel, Bayern's boss, is under pressure after the defeat by Leverkusen left his side five points behind the league leaders. However, the absence of Boey may not significantly impact Bayern's schedule, as they have depth at right-back with players like Konrad Laimer and Josip Stanišić.
Bayern's upcoming matches include a game against Bochum on Sunday, hosting RB Leipzig, and traveling to Freiburg in the league before the second leg of their Champions League match against Lazio on March 5. They are also set to face Tottenham Hotspur and Grasshoppers Zurich in friendlies and will participate in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, where they could potentially face clubs like Flamengo, Chelsea, or Espérance de Tunisie in the knockout rounds.
Although Boey's injury may mean that Bayern might lean more heavily on their other right-back options during this period, the team remains optimistic about their prospects, given their depth and the quality of their squad.

Despite Sacha Boey's injury during training with Bayern Munich, the team remains hopeful as they have capable replacements like Konrad Laimer and Josip Stanišić at the right-back position. In upcoming matches, Bayern will still play football against teams like Bochum, RB Leipzig, Freiburg, Tottenham Hotspur, and Grasshoppers Zurich, potentially facing Flamengo, Chelsea, or Espérance de Tunisie in friendly games and the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.
