Nagelsmann worried about Goretzka’s situation

star

could go under surgery for the long-term injury in his knee, according to the Bavarians’ head coach

Julian Nagelsmann

, who has revealed that the

international’s situation is complicated as he had returned to the training before noticing that he is in pain again.

"It's complicated."

Nagelsmann said of the situation.

"He [Goretzka] had two good days of training, then we had to decrease the strain [on him]. His physical condition was a lot worse.

"We examined him again and we did an MRI scan, but we couldn't detect anything.

"So, we sent him to another specialist, who will examine him again and decide what we're going to do; whether we can keep treating it conservatively, or if we have to open it up and have a look.

"In the next two days we'll decide what we need to do."

Missing Goretzka for a long time would be the worst news for the Bavarians, and their boss can’t hide his concerns about the situation as they are already facing so many absent stars with the virus outbreak.

"What is clear is that we can't keep going this way. The situation is bad for him, and bad for the club.

"Of course, we all want him to play, and he wants to play, but that's not possible. We have to think about a couple of new paths that we could go down."
