Aleksandar Pavlović Returns to Training After Orbital Fracture Surgery
Aleksandar Pavlović, a key prospect for both Bayern Munich and the German national team, has resumed training following successful surgery for a fractured orbital bone. The 21-year-old footballer sustained the injury during training last Friday.
Pavlović has been sidelined for approximately 3 to 4 weeks, which means he will miss Bayern's preseason fixtures and possibly some early competitive matches. His expected return is likely in late September or early October 2025.
The Serbian forward has been working hard on his rehabilitation, engaging in individual training at Bayern Munich's training ground, Säbener Straße. He began rehabilitation training about one week after the injury.
Pavlović's injury history includes a metacarpal fracture and Pfeiffer's glandular fever in addition to the recent orbital fracture. He had missed several games in the second half of last season due to Pfeiffer's glandular fever.
Bayern Munich announced that Pavlović has returned to training, resuming running drills specifically. However, the exact date for his comeback to the Bayern Munich team has not yet been announced. It will depend on his recovery from the orbital fracture and the evaluation of coach Vincent Kompany.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich's first competitive match is set for this Saturday at 8:30 PM, broadcast on Sat.1 and Sky, against DFB Cup winners VfB Stuttgart in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup. Pavlović's upcoming competitive match for Bayern Munich will be his first since his recent orbital fracture.
Despite this setback, Bayern and the national team are optimistic about Pavlović's recovery following surgery. His return will be closely watched as both teams are eager to see his contributions after a season disrupted by other injuries. No official exact return date has been given by Bayern Munich, but the indicated recovery timeline suggests a return after the 3-4 week period post-surgery, aligned with the timeline for healing from orbital fractures in professional athletes.
- Aleksandar Pavlović, while recovering from his recent orbital fracture, might find vocational training in medical-conditions and health-and-wellness helpful for his recuperation process, considering his history of injuries.
- Pavlović's passion for football and sports, particularly football, is evident as he works towards his return to the field, even engaging in sports-analysis to help him understand his game better during his rehabilitation.
- As EC countries work to improve vocational training for their citizens, a program focusing on sports-related roles could potentially equip future coaches and medical staff to handle the unique demands of professional athletes, like Pavlović, who may require specialized care for various medical-conditions during their career.
