"It can be so easy for injuries to derail careers. Who knows what was going through Bayern Munich U-23 right back Vincent Manuba's mind during the 2024-25 season, but it was probably not happy. Having suffered a meniscus injury at the start of the season that kept him out for over two months, he briefly returned to play and then promptly suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in November of 2024."
"Not that long (laughs) . I told my parents and my brother. They were thrilled, especially because they know exactly what I've been through in the last few months. They were there when I first injured my meniscus and later my cruciate ligament. When I recently told them that I was now training regularly with the pros, they congratulated me. But to say I was in the Champions League squad - that was something completely different."
Vincent Manuba suffered a meniscus injury at the start of the 2024-25 season that sidelined him for over two months. He briefly returned before suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in November 2024, which ruled him out for the remainder of the season and the opening three months of the following season. He made his comeback on October 18 against TSV Aubstadt in the Regionalliga Bayern, starting and playing 45 minutes. Four days later he joined the senior matchday squad for Bayern's Champions League home game against Club Brugge. He emphasized commitment, determination, and family support throughout recovery.
