Ismael Saibari suffered an ankle injury during Bayern Munich's match against Borussia Dortmund over the weekend and has already undergone surgery. Sporting director Max Eberl confirmed on Monday that the player will be sidelined for three to four months due to a torn ankle ligament.

Eberl revealed that Saibari was optimistic immediately after the operation, joking that he might return in two and a half weeks, but the club expects a longer recovery period. Saibari will definitely not play again for Bayern this calendar year.
