Suele tears cruciate ligament

Bayern Munich defender Niklas Suele has torn a cruciate ligament and will undergo surgery immediately, the German champions announced on Sunday. The Germany international, who was injured during the first half of the 2-2 draw against Augsburg on Saturday, is expected to be sidelined for several months. “The central defender suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. He will undergo surgery today,” Bayern said in a statement. The 24-year-old Suele tore his cruciate ligament in the same knee back in 2014. It is a bitter blow for the Bavarians who are third in the Bundesliga after failing to win their last two games. They have conceded 10 goals in eight games.
