Bayern Munich midfielder Bara Sapoko Ndiaye out after appendicitis surgery

Bayern Munich will be without Bara Sapoko Ndiaye for the next few weeks after the midfielder underwent successful surgery for appendicitis.

The international midfielder is set to miss several important fixtures, including Bayern’s Bundesliga Klassiker away to Borussia Dortmund and their Champions League home match against Atletico Madrid.

Ndiaye’s absence comes at a difficult time for Bayern’s midfield, with the club approaching a decisive stage of the autumn schedule without a key player in their build-up and attacking play.

However, there is optimism that the midfielder could return sooner rather than later. Ndiaye and Bayern’s medical staff are targeting a comeback in mid-November.

His unavailability for the high-profile domestic and European matches is confirmed, but Ndiaye hopes to be back in action shortly after the international break. He would then aim to reclaim his place in the Bayern Munich squad and contribute to the club’s remaining fixtures.
