Dogged by bad luck: Bayern loanee Buchmann sidelined again for weeks | OneFootball

Tarek Buchmann is struggling at 1. FC Nürnberg. The loanee from FC Bayern is once again out for an extended period and cannot assist the club for the time being.

It was only at the beginning of September that the 20-year-old made his debut for the club's U23 team. He was in the starting line-up for the 1:3 defeat in the Regionalliga Bayern against DJK Vilzing on September 5, but had to be substituted after 62 minutes. Since then, he has not been seen on the pitch.

While it was initially said that Buchmann had problems with the sole of his foot, the situation is now clear: The central defender is out again for several weeks. "Tarek is unfortunately now injured for several weeks," explained FCN sporting director Joti Chatzialexiou on the club's own podcast "Ka Depp". He did not provide details about the injury or the exact duration of the absence.

Bayern continues to bank on Buchmann's potential

For the youngster, it's the next chapter of an ongoing injury misery. In the past two years, he has hardly gained any playing experience at FC Bayern, making only five appearances in the Regionalliga. Physical setbacks have repeatedly stopped him.

Despite this, Buchmann is highly valued. "If we get the opportunity to build him up and get him into the game, he simply has really great qualities," said Chatzialexiou. FC Bayern is also convinced of the right-footer's potential. "If a player can be relevant for Bayern Munich's squad, then I think we should not be so ignorant and reject such a loan," emphasized the sporting director.

Nürnberg will have to do without Buchmann's services for the time being. For the Bayern loanee, the recurring injury is another setback in a career so far marked by misfortune. Whether and when he can regularly prove his talent remains open - but hope for a breakthrough remains.
