Bayern Munich Hit by Injury Crisis Ahead of Der Klassiker as Saibari and Gnabry Suffer Setbacks

Bayern Munich Hit by Injury Crisis Ahead of Der Klassiker as Saibari and Gnabry Suffer Setbacks
World Sports · 05:01:28 - Wednesday, 4 November 2026

Bayern Munich are facing a significant injury crisis ahead of their Bundesliga showdown with Borussia Dortmund, known as Der Klassiker, after midfielder Ismael Saibari was forced off on crutches and winger Serge Gnabry suffered a fresh setback.

The double blow occurred during the club's preparations for the high-profile fixture scheduled for early November 2026. Saibari's departure on crutches suggests a potentially serious lower-body injury, while Gnabry's setback adds to the growing list of absentees for the Bavarian giants.

Bayern's medical staff will assess the extent of both injuries in the coming days as the team looks to maintain its title challenge against their fiercest rivals.
