FC Bayern Frauen midfielder Lena Oberdorf faces a new period on the sidelines after experiencing a reaction in her right knee. The club confirmed the setback following an examination by the Bayern Munich medical unit. Oberdorf, 24, had recently resumed playing for the squad after recovering from a cruciate ligament tear sustained against 1. FC Köln in October 2025. Her injury history with the same knee includes a separate ACL and MCL tear that kept her out of the Paris Olympics. There is currently no indication that the latest development involves a new structural injury, but the player will sit out for the coming weeks as a precaution. The club has not provided a specific return date, opting instead to monitor the recovery process without rushing the midfielder back to the pitch.
