After a long and grueling injury break, Sacha Boey is finally on the verge of his long-awaited comeback for FC Bayern Munich. The young French defender reflects on his challenging journey in Munich, the hurdles he’s faced, and why he’s feeling more ready than ever to make an impact.
The Road to Recovery: Boey’s Comeback in Sight
It’s been a tough road, but Sacha Boey is almost ready to step back onto the field. Since September, he’s been sidelined with a meniscus tear in his left knee. But now, the 24-year-old right-back is brimming with optimism and eager to make his presence felt. His sights are set on a return for the upcoming Bundesliga clash against FC Augsburg.
“I feel great physically, and I’m ready to go! My goal is to be back in the squad for the match against Augsburg,” Boey shared confidently in an interview with Sport1. His enthusiasm is palpable, and his determination to be part of Bayern’s next big game is infectious.
Tough Beginnings: Injury Struggles After Galatasaray Move
Since making his move from Galatasaray Istanbul in the winter, Boey’s journey hasn’t been a smooth one. A string of injuries meant he’s only managed to make four official appearances so far — a frustrating outcome for a player with so much to prove. “It’s been challenging,” Boey admitted, “but I feel absolutely comfortable in Munich. I know what I can bring to the team.”
While injuries have been an obstacle, Boey hasn’t let them dampen his spirit. Instead, he’s used this time to adjust, grow, and focus on his recovery. “The adaptation wasn’t easy, but I’m getting there,” he said with a smile. The good news for Bayern fans? Boey is more determined than ever to make a difference.
“Nothing Happens by Chance”: Boey’s Bond with Vincent Kompany
One of the biggest bright spots in Boey’s journey at Bayern has been the connection he’s forged with coach Vincent Kompany. The Belgian tactician, who recently took over at FC Bayern, has been a key figure in supporting Boey through these tough times. Interestingly, Kompany has had his eye on Boey for quite some time — dating back to his coaching days at Burnley.
“Like they say, nothing in life happens by chance. Now we’re together in Munich, and it feels great,” Boey said with visible appreciation for his coach. The shared French language has also helped strengthen their relationship, with Boey revealing, “Communication with Vincent is easy, but sometimes he likes to tease me — he’ll switch to English just to keep me on my toes!”
Looking Forward: A Fresh Start
As Bayern prepare for their next round of Bundesliga action, Boey is aiming to make his mark. His long-term vision? To secure his spot, prove his value to the team, and show the fans exactly why he belongs at Säbener Straße.
“I’m very satisfied with my development so far, but I know I can do more. It’s about staying consistent and showing what I can contribute to the team,” Boey concluded. With the support of Kompany and a fresh perspective after months of reflection, Boey is ready to face whatever comes next.
Bayern fans, keep your eyes peeled — Sacha Boey is back, and he’s ready to bring his fire to the pitch!
