  "account": "Bayern Munich product Leon Goretzka suffered a knee injury and will be sidelined until October due to the excessive workload after his time away from the sport. The 26-year-old midfielder joined Aston Villa recently, and has expressed his frustration over the situation. Goretzka's late arrival at Villa Park may prove disappointing for fans, and could also impact his chances of earning a call-up to the German national team under manager Klopp in September. As the English club’s new signing, Goretzka will have to wait until October to prove his worth in the Premier League.",
