Five crosses Saturday Pavard sent in five crosses, creating one chance during Saturday's 1-0 win over Augsburg.

Impact Pavard lined up at right-back, a role that gives him far more value than his recent stint in the center of the defense. The wing-back has some decent fantasy value at right-back and is worth considering in any match. He will be in the starting XI once again mid-week, against Villarreal.

Impact Pavard was already expected to be unavailable for the clash with Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday but will now also be suspended against Bayer Leverkusen on Oct. 17.

Starting against Leipzig Pavard (ankle) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Leipzig.

Impact Pavard is back from his ankle injury and makes his first XI of the season, partly because of other injuries in the squad. Given his absence, it may not be a given for him to a go a full 90 against Leipzig.

Status uncertain Saturday Pavard (ankle) remains a question mark for Saturday's match versus RB Leipzig. Manager Julian Nagelsmann told reporters, "We have a couple of players carrying a knock in Pavard and...

Impact Even if fully fit, Pavard could struggle to break into the starting XI over the likes of Dayot Upamecano (undisclosed) or Niklas Sule when all three central defenders are fully fit. Still, with the Champions League Group Stage kicking off for the club against Barcelona on Tuesday, the lack of depth could be a concern.

Impact Pavard's absence will certainly stretch the defensive depth of Bayern Munich, though the club will get a boost against Gladbach on Friday after Alphonso Davies (ankle) was cleared to play. Considering he started 29 of his 31 appearances for Bayern last year, Pavard should be a near-lock for the starting XI once cleared to play, though his limited offensive upside makes him a mid-range fantasy option at best.

Suffers ankle injury Pavard sustained an ankle injury in training and is slated to miss 3-4 weeks, per Kicker.de.

Impact Pavard's absence is just the latest blow for the Bayern Munich backline heading into the season opener against Monchengladbach, as the club is set to also be without Alphonso Davies (ankle) and Lucas Hernandez (knee). Without Pavard available, the central defense duo Friday figures to be Tanguy Nianzou and Dayot Upamecano.

Sends in four crosses in draw Pavard created one chance, sent in four inaccurate crosses, made two tackles (one won) and two interceptions and picked up a yellow card in Saturday's 1-1 draw to Hungary.

Impact Pavard sent in the third-most crosses for his side, but France couldn't find the winner and ended up with the disappointing draw. The right-back will likely have more defensive duties when they face Portugal's powerful offense on Wednesday.
