MUNICH (AP) — Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich will be out until January after undergoing a knee operation, the club said.
Kimmich damaged the meniscus in his right knee in a challenge on Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Haaland during Bayern’s 3-2 win over its title rival on Saturday. He had to be helped off the field.
Kimmich was operated on successfully Sunday and the club hopes he can return to play in January, the club said late Sunday.
“We’re glad that Joshua will probably be available again in a matter of weeks. We’ll support him in his rehabilitation as best we can,” sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic said in a statement.
