Stumbled setback in Bayern Munich's attacking efforts during the Bundesliga game
FC Bayern Munich's Paul Wanner Sidelined with Ankle Injury
Paul Wanner, midfielder for FC Bayern Munich, is currently out of action due to a minor ligament tear in his left ankle. The injury was sustained during a friendly match against Tottenham Hotspur, and Wanner is expected to be out for at least a few weeks, missing the start of Bayern's new season[1][2][3][4][5].
Wanner's recent performances for Bayern's U21 and senior squads have shown his potential and promise, with the German champions still considering him a part of their long-term plans[1][2]. However, there has been known interest from Werder Bremen and Borussia Mönchengladbach in Wanner, reflecting his youth career potential[1][2].
As of now, it doesn't seem likely that Wanner will leave FC Bayern Munich. The new Bundesliga season for Munich starts on August 22 with a home game against RB Leipzig, and Wanner's recovery will be closely monitored by the club before making decisions on his career path[1][2].
Meanwhile, other Bayern players are also dealing with injuries. Hiroki Ito is out with a metatarsal fracture, and Alphonso Davies is out with an ACL tear, both expected to return towards the end of the first half of the season. Serge Gnabry had to pause during the match against Tottenham due to muscular problems[6][7].
The German champions' first competitive game is the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup against cup winners VfB Stuttgart next Saturday. FC Bayern will also play a test match against Grasshopper Club Zurich on Tuesday[8]. Despite the injuries, Bayern is ready to face the challenges of the new season, with their sights set on another successful campaign.

Other Bayern players might need to step up in Paul Wanner's absence, as he recovers from his injury. Despite being sidelined, Wanner's talent for football remains a crucial part of Bayern Munich's long-term plans.
