"Bayern" President: "Sule can forget about the European Championship"

Bayern Munich's manager Uli Hoeness believes that Niklas Sule will not appear on the field anymore this season. The 24-year-old central defender suffered a serious knee injury during the match against Augsburg on Saturday - he tore his anterior cruciate ligament. N. Sule was also an important player for the German national team led by Joachim Low, but U. Hoeness believes that the defender's rehabilitation will last until next season. "He can forget about the European Championship. His season is over," said Bayern's president. "It's a real tragedy. He just needs to focus on next season. We have to help him," added U. Hoeness, refusing to comment on whether a replacement will be sought for the player during the winter. Until the injury, N. Sule had not missed any matches for Bayern this season.
