The Frenchman is another player who has been unfortunate with injuries this season. After winning the FIFA World Cup with France in the summer of 2018, Tolisso was expected to carry on the good work with Bayern in his second season.

His first appearance of the season was in the first round of DFB-Pokal against SV Drochtersen in August, where he came off the bench for the last 4 minutes. His first appearance of the season in the Bundesliga was also off the bench, against Stuttgart.
He started the next game in the league, against Bayern Leverkusen, where he equalized for his team in the 10th minute. Unfortunately, he picked up an injury in the 42nd minute after a tussle with Leverkusen's Kevin Volland and had to be carried away.
It was later confirmed that the Frenchman had endured an anterior cruciate ligament tear and would be out for around 6 months! Tolisso is expected to return by mid of March this year, but by then, he would have missed approximately 32 games for his team.

Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written close to 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
