Holger Badstuber injury: Bayern Munich defender tears thigh muscle

Bayern Munich have announced that Holger Badstuber will miss at least two weeks after tearing a muscle in his right thigh. This will come as a relief after initial reports were that he suffered a torn hamstring.

Badstuber, 23, came off at halftime for Xherdan Shaqiri in Bayern’s 2-1 loss at home to Bayer Leverkusen over the weekend. With Bayern down a goal but consistently dominating the match, it was believed to be a sub for tactical reasons. It was revealed after the match that Badstuber was injured. He has started every competitive fixture for Bayern so far this season.
