Former PSV player Saibari sidelined for at least three months after ankle surgery

Bayern midfielder Saibari faces at least three months out after ankle ligament surgery sustained in the Dortmund clash.

Bayern Munich's Ismael Saibari suffered a torn ankle ligament during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund after colliding with goalkeeper Gregor Kobel in the first half. The Moroccan international has undergone surgery, which went well according to his Instagram post. German media reports indicate his recovery will take at least three months.

Saibari joined Bayern from PSV in June for approximately €55 million and had quickly established himself, making 14 appearances and scoring three goals before the injury.
