Boey in focus: Bad luck with injuries is slowing down the Bayern star again!
In the world of football there are always stories that make fans' hearts beat faster. One of these stories revolves around Sacha Boey, FC Bayern's right-back, who is scheduled to be on the pitch against Hoffenheim on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. Coach Vincent Kompany is forced to rely on Boey due to various injuries in defense. Players like Alphonso Davies, who has been struggling with a torn cruciate ligament since March, and Hiroki Ito, who has again injured his metatarsal, are out. Josip Stanisic also suffers from a partial tear of the inner ligament and will be out for at least three to four weeks, which doesn't make the situation any easier for the Munich team. Picture reports that Boey will finally have the chance to prove himself in the record champions.
The professional career of Boey, who is only 25 years old, has so far been marked by numerous injuries. After he moved from Galatasaray Istanbul to Bayern in January 2024 for around 30 million euros, the right-back was injured several times. According to information from tz This is the fourth serious injury Boey has suffered during his time at Bayern. His current ligament injury in his left ankle, which he sustained during training, could keep him out of action for several weeks again.
A question of susceptibility to injury
In total, Boey has already missed 26 competitive games due to injury since moving to Munich and can only look back on 431 minutes of playing time. He used to miss numerous games for his old club due to thigh problems or a torn meniscus. Boey's frequent injuries highlight a growing problem in professional football, highlighted by a study by insurance company Howden. Em2024 explains that the average number of injuries has increased significantly over the last decade.
The risk of injury is increasing in German football, and many clubs are struggling with the consequences. A professional now suffers an injury twice per season on average, and the Bundesliga is one of the leagues most affected. This leads to enormous financial burdens for the clubs, who had to spend 732 million euros on injured players alone.
The way back to the square
Despite his injury problems, coach Kompany sees potential in Boey. In the match against Chelsea, the defender delivered a decent performance, which earned him recognition from sporting director Christoph Freund. The latter was positive about Boey's development, but also emphasized the challenges that came with his bumpy career. Now it's time for Boey to take the step out of the shadow of his susceptibility to injury and assert himself in the fight for a regular place at FC Bayern.
