Bayern skipper Lahm fractures right ankle
Munich: Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm fractured his right ankle during training and will be out of action for up to three months.
Lahm, who announced his international retirement from the German national team after winning the World Cup 2014 in Brazil, Tuesday suffered his first severe injury in last eight years and the third major injury during his career, reports Xinhua.
The 31-year-old captain is already the eighth player to be injured in the team after Javi Martinez, Holger Badstuber, David Alaba, Thiago Alcantara, Claudio Pizarro, Tom Starke and Pepe Reina.
Since Alaba, Lahm’s left-sided counterpart, is also injured, there will be hardly someone to carry out the mid-field, fullback and defense roles all at the same time.
Now it would be a difficult technical decision for trainer Pep Guardiola to go without eight injured players, including Lahm, who has participated so far in every game in the Bundesliga.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
