Bayern Munich’s Josip Stanišić gives all-clear after injury scare

Bayern Munich’s 3-1 victory over Chelsea in the opening game of the Champions League season was nearly perfect. However, it was marred by one instant. Stand-in left-back Josip Stanišić had to be substituted off in the second half after a nasty midair collision with Trevoh Chalobah, who had given Bayern the lead through an own goal.

Stanišić was replaced by Sacha Boey, while Konrad Laimer switched to the left side to cover for him. While both players had good shifts in their respective positions, Stanišić’s potential injury was a major reason for concern, given that Bayern are currently completely out of proper left backs.

However, after the game, Stanišić gave the all-clear to kicker’s Georg Holzner, saying “everything is fine, I can play.”

Bayern can therefore likely look forward to Stanišić’s services for the upcoming games, especially since backup left back Raphäel Guerreiro will be out for the foreseeable future with an abdominal muscular problem.

Bayern Munich hosted Chelsea in one of the most intriguing matchups on the second round of Matchday 1 in the Champions League’s League Phase.

The Bavarians were able to tough out a rugged 3-1 victory in a match that was not all that pleasing to the eye. Harry Kane’s brace and an own goal from Chelsea paced Bayern Munich. While Chelsea did some good things (including a terrific first half counterattack for a goal), the Londoners did not have enough gas in the tank to keep up with the German powerhouse.
