Another setback! Lena Oberdorf of Bayern Munich must take another break

Bayern said on Wednesday evening that they will be without the Germany international "in the coming weeks". Oberdorf must "temporarily pause due to a reaction in the right knee joint". The club's medical department reached that verdict after an examination.

After two cruciate ligament ruptures in 15 months, Oberdorf had battled her way back. The midfielder returned on 31 August in the 2-0 Bundesliga win against Mainz 05. She also came on in Sunday's 4-1 win for the double winners against SC Freiburg.

"It is an indescribable feeling," Oberdorf had said after her comeback. It is "incredibly nice to be back with the team, to play in a match that means something. I really missed it."
