Bayern Munich star Thiago Alcantara will be out for “several Weeks” after the club confirmed the severity of the ankle injury he sustained on Tuesday.
A Bayern statement read: "Thiago faces several weeks on the sidelines. The Spain international tore the lateral collateral ligament and the articular capsule in his right ankle in the DFB-Pokal tie against Rodinghausen."
Thiago was ruled out for almost three months of the previous season after suffering a thigh injury in November 2017.
