Last summer, as German national team career ended for defender Philipp Lahm, additional rest did not come in handy.
While his country's team fought in the European Championship qualifying tournament, the 31-year-old football player experienced a complex injury during training - a fractured ankle was diagnosed for the defender.
Even before the injury, Ph. Lahm spoke to the official website of the Munich club, saying that he enjoyed extra free time.
"It's very nice. You can relax for a few days and spend time with your family," said the defender.
It is said that the player will undergo a leg operation and will have to forget about football for at least 3 months.
Now, the list of injured players in the "Bayern" team includes names such as: Neuer, Lahm, Reina, Starke, Boateng, Badstuber, Alaba, Javi Martinez, Thiago, and Pizarro.
Bad news: Philipp Lahm suffered a serious injury in training. He is currently undergoing an examination. Diagnosis due by this evening. - FC Bayern English (@FCBayernEN) November 18, 2014
