Suffers setback Goretzka (knee) is expected to be out of action until March after suffering a setback in his recovery, David Verhoff of Bild reports.

Impact Goretzka had started running on the training pitch back in mid-January but it appears things haven't gone as planned with his recovery. At this point, it's possible the midfielder misses the remainder of the season given the lingering nature of his knee problem.

Returns to running Goretzka (knee) began running with the ball during Thursday's training session.

Impact Goretzka remains a long-term absence after hip issues turned into a recurring knee injury that saw the midfielder seek specialist treatment. While his return is somewhat indefinite with his recurring knee issues, he will hope to return after the international break.

Virus-hit Bayern Munich returns with 2-1 loss to Gladbach

Still sidelined Friday Goretzka (hip) will miss out versus Gladbach on Friday.

Impact The fact that Goretzka is still on the shelf even after the holiday break should be a red flag for fantasy players. The midfielder hasn't played since Dec. 4 versus Dortmund and appears no closer to returning to action. For now, Goretzka should probably be considered out indefinitely.

Out with hip injury Goretzka (hip) is out for Friday's clash with Wolfsburg, according to manager Julian Nagelsmann.

Impact Goretzka has continued to trend the wrong direction as he went from close to returning based on pain, to out during training. The midfielder will likely be replaced by Jamal Musiala on Friday, and will look to reclaim his spot after the winter break.

Missing out Saturday Goretzka (hip) will be out Saturday against Mainz with a patellar tendon issue, according to manager Julian Nagelsmann.

Impact Goretzka will miss Saturday's as he continues to recover from an issue he picked up against Dortmund. The defensive midfielder has played a major role in the team lately, but offers limited fantasy value due to his role in the team. He will look to return Saturday against Stuttgart.

Out against Barcelona Goretzka will not play Wednesday after ending training early Tuesday, according to manager Julien Nagelsmann.

Impact It's likely Goertzka's absence is related to his ongoing hip issue, which has resulted in less playing time the last couple matches. Bayern don't have a ton of options Wednesday with Joshua Kimmich out, and it's expected Corentin Tolisso and Marc Roca will man the midfield against Barcelona.

Stays in starting XI Goretkza (hip) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Dortmund.

Impact Goretzka stays in the XI Saturday despite dealing with a hip issue. He's started each of the last five matches and while he's in play to be subbed off early, he's fought through injuries before and always seems to get a shot or two every match despite his midfield role.

Impact Goretzka was subbed out of last weekend's victory against Arminia Bielefeld after picking up his injury, and he will be questionable to be able to play on Saturday. With Joshua Kimmich (illness) and Marcel Sabitzer (calf) both out, Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann might send out Corentin Tolisso and Jamal Musiala in midfield against Dortmund.
