Laimer joins Bayern's growing absentee list

Injured Bayern Munich midfielder Konrad Laimer became the latest player added to the club's growing absentee list, the defending champions announced on Thursday.

Laimer, 28, will be missing "for the time being" the club said in a statement, ruling him out of Saturday's trip to former side RB Leipzig. 

Unbeaten Bayern are 11 points clear in the league but are coping with a wave of absentees. 

Germany captain Joshua Kimmich, Jamal Musiala and Josip Stanisic are also injured, Alphonso Davies and Sacha Boey are yet to play in 2026 due to illness while Senegal striker Nicolas Jackson is at the Africa Cup of Nations.
