"Unfortunately, I got injured during training. I will not be able to play for the next few weeks. The surgery went well and I thank all the support. I will focus on my recovery and come back stronger," Stanisic said on his personal SNS on Monday.

Stanisic, a former Munich Youth player, joined the national team in 2021 after playing in different age groups. Stanisic, who was born in 2000, was highly competitive in multiple roles. He was considered an important option for Munich as he was able to play both left and right full-backs and center-backs. He has taken any position as a rotation resource. He was hired by Leverkusen last summer, and it was the worst option considering that Munich suffered from a tightrope injury to its defense.

Stanisic won the German Bundesliga, the German Football Association (DFB) Pokal, and the runner-up prize at the UEFA Europa League. After a successful loan deal, Stanisic will stay at Munich under a renewed contract. He renewed his contract through June 2029. "Stanisic grew up with the Munich Youth. I went to Leverkusen on loan to play regularly. Stanisic is a player who has consistently walked his path and knows how to commit himself. He is the type that a team needs."


Stanisic said, "I am glad to renew my contract with Munich. I have been a fan of Munich for a long time. I learned a lot from Leverkusen last season. While playing a lot, I showed myself and adjusted to the rhythm. I gained confidence and came back with a better player. My goal is clear. I am giving everything for Munich. I want to win as many titles as possible."

During the pre-season, Stanisic moved between center back and right back. He also appeared in the Korean tour, where he met with fans. He was expected to take turns in various positions during the 2024-25 season, but the injury was suddenly announced. "Stanisic will be out for six weeks," German media Bild reported. Florian Flettenberg of Germany's "Sky Sports" claimed that he will be out for at least two months.


The prospects for the departure period are different, but it seems that he will not be able to play early in the season. It is a blow to Vincent Kompany's defense plan. Matthijs de Ligt went to Manchester United, and Hiroki Ito cannot play longer than Stanisic due to his metatarsal injury. Stanisic is also out. Kim Min-jae and Dayo Upamecano are expected to continue playing. Eric Dier is also available as an option and Leon Goretzka can also be used. There is also a possibility that he could recruit a new center back.
