FC Bayern München striker Alexander Zickler's attempts to recover from persistent injury problems suffered a significant setback on Friday as he broke his leg for the second time this season.
Leg fractured
The Bundesliga champions said on Saturday that the German international had fractured his right leg while playing for Bayern's amateur side in a regional league game against SC Feucht on Friday.
Second break
The 30-year old forward, who has won 12 caps for Germany, broke the same leg just before the start of the season. "This is tragic for Alexander," said Bayern coach Ottmar Hitzfeld. "It happened just as he was about to return to the team."
