 Bayern Munich ⁠defender Alphonso Davies suffered a muscle injury ​during Saturday's ​3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt at Allianz Arena, the German club said.
Davies, who recently returned to action after a long-term knee injury, was ⁠replaced by Hiroki Ito in the ⁠50th minute after the Canadian collapsed and required medical treatment.
'Alphonso Davies suffered a torn muscle ‌fibre in his right ​hamstring in ⁠the 3-2 victory over Eintracht ​Frankfurt. This was confirmed ‌by ... FC Bayern’s medical unit,' the side said ​in a statement.
'The defender will be sidelined for the time being.'
While the length of Davies' absence remains unconfirmed, manager Vincent Kompany expressed ‌hope he would return within two ​to four weeks.
'It doesn't look so bad,' ​Kompany ‌said ⁠after the match.
'I don't know if it will be two or four weeks,' ​he told reporters. 'My gut feeling ⁠is that ​it won't take that long.'
Bayern, who are on top of the Bundesliga table with 60 points in 23 ​games, will face the second-placed ​Borussia Dortmund next Saturday.
