Bayern Munich may have to do without full-back Alphonso Davies until the end of the year.
The Canadian international suffered an injury to his right ankle in the 5-0 win in the Bundesliga home game against Eintracht Frankfurt.
After the game, coach Hansi Flick reported that the investigation had revealed a torn ligament and another ligament.
"We expect a break of six to eight weeks," said Flick.
Davies was twisted in the second minute of the game in the Allianz Arena without opposing contact in midfield.
He stayed on the ground and had to be treated.
Then he left the field supported by supervisors.
"The failure hurts," said Flick.
The French world champion Lucas Hernández came for Davies.
Flick announced that you will have to be "a little creative" in the left-back position in the coming weeks.
Most recently, however, Hernández had convinced with good performances.
