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.

Impact Stanisic broke the deadlock in the 15th minute, arriving in the area to finish the opener and immediately settle Bayern into their rhythm. 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.

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.

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."

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. The Croatian's absence is a big blow for the team since he has been the undisputed starter at left-back while Alphonso Davies is out with a knee issue. 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.

Depth option back in Munich Stanisic remained a depth option in Munich making 14 appearances (nine starts) for the club.

Impact Stanisic returned from his loan and title-success with Leverkusen to a depth option in Munich once more. The defender offers decent depth at center-back and right-back, but never really has had enough to push into the starting XI in Munich.

Tallies rare assist Stanisic assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Stanisic provided a rare assist during Saturday's draw, also creating a pair of chances. The defender isn't a consistent starter at full-back, but he's shown a surprising ability to get forward as a full-back. Stanisic is always a risk to rotate, and when he slots into center-back his forays forward tend to be more limited.
