France defender of Guinean descent, Dayot Upamecano, is likely to miss the rest of the 2024/25 football season due to his injury.
The Bayern Munich centre-back suffered a knee injury during the March international break while on duty with the France national team.
He lasted the entire 120 minutes as France overcame Croatia in the quarter-final of the UEFA Nations League at the Stade de France on Sunday night.
In that pulsating encounter, Dayot Upamecano scored the winning penalty to ensure France reached the semi-finals of the competition.
Unfortunately, he returned to Bayern Munich from the international break with an injury.
The German Bundesliga club, after conducting some tests, found that the defender has loose joints in his left knee.
This requires treatment and a period of recovery. While Bayern Munich officials are confident he can play again before the end of the season, there are doubts.
He is expected to be out for several weeks and may not play again in the ongoing campaign.
