Bayern Munich's Javi Martinez out of action for at least 6 weeks with muscle injury
The 31-year-old Spaniard suffered the injury to his right thigh and had to be substituted before halftime.
Bayern Munich defender Javi Martinez faces at least six weeks on the sidelines after sustaining a muscle injury in Saturday’s 2-0 Bundesliga victory over VfL Wolfsburg, interim manager Hansi Flick has said.
The 31-year-old Spaniard suffered the injury to his right thigh and had to be substituted before halftime.
“Javi will be unavailable for at least six weeks, it’s a major muscle injury. It’s very bitter,” Flick told reporters.
Bayern added in a statement on their website that Martinez will miss their Jan. 4-10 training camp in Doha and is a doubt for the clash at Hertha Berlin next month when the Bundesliga restarts following the winter break.
