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.
