It had seemed certain that Bayern Munich would exercise their option to make James Rodriguez's loan deal permanent, but that move is now in big doubt
Bayern Munich announced this week that James Rodriguez suffered a knee injury in training, and that he is expected to be absent for the next few weeks. That means the Colombia captain could well have played his last game of 2018 already.
Their final Bundesliga game of the year comes on December 22 against Eintracht Frankfurt at which point they will finish up for the winter break. It is unlikely that we will see Rodriguez in a Bayern shirt by then.
