Bayern Munich says Lena Oberdorf is progressing well in rehab after her second knee injury. The club is giving daily support while keeping her return cautious.
Lena Oberdorf is showing steady signs of recovery after tearing the cruciate ligament in her right knee for the second time.[1]
Bayern Munich’s coach, José Barcala, said the club stays in close contact with Oberdorf and supports her every day as she follows a rehabilitation plan.[1]
Barcala said Oberdorf is recovering faster than after her first injury, but the club will not rush her back because healing from a cruciate ligament tear takes time.[1]
The second tear came about 15 months after the first, and the coach acknowledged that facing a second major knee injury is often harder for an athlete than the first time.[1]
