The lad can’t catch a break
Aleksandar Pavlović is known for two things: the next big midfielder for both Bayern Munich and Germany, and misfortune when it comes to keeping free of illness. The latter happened and put the 20-year-old out of action for around a month:
Aleksandar Pavlović is suffering from a ‘massive viral infection’. He will miss Leverkusen and Union Berlin, as well as Germany’s games against Italy. The hope is that he would resume training after the international break.

Bayern is no stranger to its midfielders having a ‘mare. Last time out, João Palhinha was sent off with a questionable red card in his first game back from injury during the Bavarians’ most recent league game. Pavlović’s absence is a huge blow to the team who will look to build upon their 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16.
