Another Setback for Bayern's Rising Star Pavlovic

Bayern Munich's burgeoning talent, Aleksandar Pavlovic, has encountered yet another hurdle in his injury-laden career. The 21-year-old underwent surgery for a fractured eye socket, sustaining the injury during a routine training session.

The team has not disclosed the specific circumstances surrounding the injury nor the expected recovery time for Pavlovic. However, it's clear that he will be absent for Bayern's first game of the season, set to be played against Stuttgart in the German Super Cup on August 16.

Pavlovic's journey has been frequently interrupted by health issues, including tonsillitis and glandular fever. These frequent setbacks have prevented him from representing Germany in the upcoming Euro 2024 tournament, despite his standing as one of the most promising young defensive midfielders globally.
