Bayern Munich and Spanish midfielder Thiago Alcantara has been ruled out for up to six weeks due to an ankle injury. After his midfielder's departure on crutches in the Bavarians' DFB-Pokal game against SV Rödinghausen, Niko Kovac feared that his player had a more serious damage.
The medical tests to which he was subjected by Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt determined that the Spain international has a rupture of the frontal ligament of his right ankle.
Thiago will miss both La Roja's upcoming games against Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in the international break in November.
The 27-year-old has been a regular starter for Kovac, having played 14 of the team's 15 games so far this season, registering one goal and an assist. He will join his teammates Kingsley Coman and Corentin Tolisso, who have long-term injuries.
