Medical experts: Goretzka's knee injury is complex and may require surgery

Bayern Munich midfielder Goretzka has been plagued by a knee injury, and medical experts have spoken about Goretzka's knee injury.

Goretzka's last appearance was in the German national derby between Bayern and Borussia Dortmund in early December, when Goretzka left early due to injury. Since then, Goretzka has been injured and can only do personal training, and his injuries are more complicated.

Lehnert, a Berlin-based sports specialist, spoke to German media outlet Sport1 about Goretzka's injury. Lehnert: "It's not inappropriate to undergo surgery in such a complex situation. In particular, all conservative treatment methods have been used, and the injury is still not getting better. ”

"The patellar tendon is not in the knee, but around the knee. It binds a lot of muscle and requires patellar tendons to tighten and straighten the knees. Its burden is enormous, especially for footballers. Frequent sprinting, stopping, running, this can put a lot of burden on the patellar tendons. If the patellar tendon becomes inflamed, it must be fully restored, otherwise there will be long-term damage. ”
