Starts in return Stanisic (ankle) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Hamburger.

Impact Stanisic is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Hamburger after initially being expected to return next week. The defender had been a regular starter prior to his injury and should continue to see significant minutes during the second half of the season despite competition at his position.

Could return next week Stanisic (ankle) should resume team training next week, coach Vincent Kompany said in the press conference. "Josip will probably be back too."

Impact Stanisic trained with the ball this week and should resume team training at the beginning of next week. The Croatian is in the final stages of the recovery of an ankle injury that made him miss all the games across all competitions since early January. Stanisic has been a regular starter in the backline this season for the Bavarians and will likely see decent playing time when fully back fit despite competition.

Trains with ball Monday Stanisic (ankle) was spotted training individually with the ball on Monday, the club posted.

Impact Stanisic missed the last four games due to an ankle injury and will likely miss a few more, although he was spotted training individually with the ball on Monday. The defender is expected to return within the month of February if everything goes as planned in his recovery.

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.

Out with ankle injury Stanisic is out for the time being due to a ligament injury in his ankle, according to his club.

Impact Stanisic is heading to the sidelines after he went down with an ankle injury against Wolfsburg. Unfortunately for the defender, he will likely miss at least a month to recover, potentially more time based on his recovery. This will force a change at left-back for the time being, with Raphael Guerreiro or Hiroki Ito as possible replacements.

Brillant shift in victory Stanisic scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and four chances created in Sunday's 4-0 victory over FC Heidenheim.

The defender then capped his night with the assist for Luis Diaz's 86th minute goal, stepping forward and picking out the right pass as Heidenheim tired late. 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.

However, the defender didn't earn a single significant stat in the defense as his team earned a clean sheet.

Impact Stanisic has recovered from a knee injury that kept him out of the last six games and returns to the squad for Saturday's match against Gladbach, though only as a substitute. The defender rejoined full training earlier this week and was deemed fit enough to be included in the matchday squad. He could see limited minutes off the bench depending on how the game unfolds.

Could return Saturday Stanisic (knee) is a late call for Saturday's clash against Gladbach, coach Vincent Kompany said in the press conference. "If Josip is training normally, he will be involved."

Impact Stanisic has returned to team training this week and will be assessed after the final training session to know if he can be involved in Saturday's clash against Gladbach. 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.
