Munich: Bayern Munich’s Portuguese midfielder Joao Palhinha has been ruled out injured and will miss next week’s Champions League game at home to Paris Saint-Germain, the German club said yesterday.
“Palhinha suffered a torn muscle fibre in his right adductor while training with the Portugal national team. The midfielder will therefore be sidelined for the coming weeks,” Bayern said in a statement.
Palhinha, 29, joined Bayern last summer and stepped into the midfield lineup alongside Joshua Kimmich mid-October after Germany’s Aleksandr Pavlovic broke his collarbone.
Pavlovic partially resumed training on Monday, but after undergoing surgery Bayern had not anticipated his return before the end of the year.
