"The 25-year-old is a versatile defender who can play across all positions at the back. This season, he has been used as a right-back, centre-back, and left-back. The defender has made 11 appearances in the Bundesliga this season, scoring two goals and providing two assists. Stanisic has also made four Champions League starts, which shows he is an important player for Vincent Kompany's side."
"The defender picked up an injury towards the end of the game, and it appears to be serious. Bayern confirmed on their website that the defender sustained a capsular ligament injury in his right ankle against Wolfsburg. The diagnosis was confirmed by the club's medical department. Christian Falk told CFBayern that the defender is expected to be out of action for around three weeks."
"Despite Stanisic's injury, Sacha Boey's future remains uncertain. The right-back is likely to be sold during the January transfer window, and there is no future for him at Bayern. Kompany has Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito as two options for the left-back role, while Tom Bischof can also play there. Bayern will also be without Joshua Kimmich for the next game against Koln on Wednesday."
Josip Stanisic sustained a capsular ligament injury in his right ankle late in Bayern's 8-1 win over Wolfsburg and is expected to be out for around three weeks. The 25-year-old versatile defender has played as right-back, centre-back and left-back, making 11 Bundesliga appearances with two goals and two assists, plus four Champions League starts. He previously suffered an internal ligament injury and missed many games. Bayern face seven games in the next 21 days, so Stanisic could miss several fixtures. Sacha Boey is likely to be sold in January, and Kompany can use Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito or Tom Bischof at full-back. Joshua Kimmich remains unlikely to play the next match.
