In a podcast interview on "Munich Evening News", Boateng spoke about an injury he suffered in late 2016 that initially seemed minor but eventually forced him to miss several months and left long-term effects. Boateng also discussed his experience under Ancelotti.

Boateng said that in December 2016, he suffered a partial chest muscle tear during training, but the club doctor misdiagnosed the injury at the time. "The doctor performed an MRI on my shoulder and said it was fine, so I could continue playing." As a result, the injury later tore completely.

Boateng, who was initially expected to need only three to four weeks of rest, eventually underwent surgery and missed four months. The injury also left long-term effects on him. "I lost all the muscle in my chest. It took me a year to feel like myself again." During this period, he also suffered several new muscle injuries.

This injury occurred during Ancelotti's first season at Bayern Munich, and Boateng not only missed a large number of matches but was also affected by the lingering effects of the injury through the 2017/18 season, making it difficult for him to quickly return to his previous competitive level.

Boateng Reveals: Communication Barriers Also Hampered Ancelotti at Bayern Munich

In the same podcast episode, Boateng also discussed the difficult period he experienced under Ancelotti. He believes the biggest problem in the team was communication barriers.

"The biggest issue was language; for players who don't speak Italian or Spanish, it was a barrier. Misunderstandings happened frequently back then."

However, at the same time, Boateng also emphasized that he learned a lot from the renowned Italian coach, both tactically and in terms of personal conduct.
