Injury list
The 27-year-old Argentinian international left the pitch after just 22 minutes of the 1-0 loss at the Allianz Arena and could face a month on the sidelines. "It depends on the healing process as to whether it will be two, three or four weeks," said Bayern coach Jürgen Klinsmann, who already has fitness concerns surrounding new German Footballer of the Year Franck Ribéry (ankle), Willy Sagnol (achilles), Hans-Jörg Butt (muscle problems) and Luca Toni (calf). "We are a bit short at the moment," added Klinsmann.
Borowski boost
In more positive news, summer recruit Tim Borowski has returned to full training after overcoming a knee complaint. "The weekend will be too early for him to play, though," warned Klinsmann, whose side will have to do without the 28-year-old German international midfielder when they contest the first round of this season's German Cup at FC Rot-Weiss Erfurt on Sunday.
