The Germany international is set to be out for some time after undergoing a chest operation in yet another setback during an injury-hit season for the central defender
Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng has been ruled out for approximately six weeks after undergoing surgery on a pectoral tendon, the Bundesliga champions have announced.
The Germany international has not played since a shaky display in the 3-2 Champions League defeat at Rostov on November 23 and went under the knife in Munich on Tuesday.
The operation was deemed a success with Bayern suggesting the centre-half will be sidelined until early February.
