Bayern Munich midfielder David Alaba could be sidelined for
the next couple of months after undergoing successful knee ligament
surgery, the German Bundesliga club have announced.
The Austria international sustained an injury to his meniscus during
Wednesday’s 2-0 UEFA Champions League victory over Roma which guaranteed
Bayern top spot in their group and qualification for the knockout phase
next year.
The German champions have said the 22-year-old, who set up Franck
Ribery’s opener on Wednesday night, could return to full training by
early January.

“It’s a bitter moment for me because everything was going well both for
the club and myself,” Alaba said on the eve of his operation. “With the
help of the medical staff, I hope to be back on the pitch as soon as
possible.”
Alaba has played in all of Bayern’s 17 matches this season before injury derailed his season at the Allianz Arena in midweek.
