Impact Stanisic is expected to miss several weeks and return at the earliest by the end of February due to a ligament injury in his ankle. This is a big blow for the Bavarians since he was a regular starter at left-back with the long absence of Alphonso Davies. As the Canadian is out with illness, Raphael Guerreiro and Hiroki Ito are the two possible options to start at left-back against Koln on Wednesday.

Defensively, he was steady in his duels and helped keep Heidenheim to a minimal threat over 90 minutes, contributing three clearances and six crosses. That said, it was in the offensive phases where he has been extremely brilliant, setting new season highs with four chances created and six crosses.

The defender missed the last six games across all competitions due to a knee injury but is nearing a return after recovering from the issue. Stanisic has been an undisputed starter prior to his injury and should claim back his starting role at left-back, pushing Konrad Laimer to the right side of the backline and Sacha Boey back to a bench role.

Impact Stanisic is aiming to return from his partial medial ligament rupture after the next international break and be available for the Klassiker against Dortmund.

Konrad Laimer is expected to take the spot in upcoming games, with Sacha Boey likely taking the right-back role and seeing increased playing time if Raphael Guerreiro remains out with an abdomen problem.

Knee injury confirmed Stanisic is out for the time being due to a partial medial ligament rupture, according to his club.

Impact Stanisic had to leave the field early during Bayern's UCL opener and has now been confirmed to have suffered a knee injury in the win. This will leave the defender out for around a month or so, possibly taking longer depending on his recovery. He was their starter at left-back, so this will force a change, with Kim Min-Jae and Sacha Boey as their last senior defenders still fit on their bench.

Off Wednesday Stanisic was brought off during Wednesday's clash with Chelsea, due to an apparent injury.

The defender has been a key part of the starting XI to open the season, and would be a big loss if ruled out for any extended period of time. Sacha Boey came on to replace Stanisic, and could slot in at left-back if the injury proves to be severe.
