Bayern Munich Confirm David Alaba Injury Setback Ahead of Hoffenheim Clash

Bayern Munich left-back David Alaba will be ruled out through injury for the foreseeable future after suffering a fractured rib during the club's 7-2 win over Tottenham in the Champions League group stages.

The Austria international was forced off at half-time and replaced by Thiago due to severe pains in north London, missing a sensational second-half where Serge Gnabry scored four goals on matchday two in the Champions League.

After checks back in Bavaria with doctor Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt, Bayern Munich have now confirmed on their official website that Alaba suffered a hairline fracture on one of his ribs.
