Bayern Munich midfielder Ismael Saibari was successfully operated on for a right ankle injury sustained during Saturday's 2-2 Bundesliga draw against Borussia Dortmund. The club confirmed on Sunday that he suffered a syndesmosis ligament tear in the 29th minute. According to Bild, the Morocco international will miss at least three months of action.
