The defender was forced off against Hoffenheim and the club has confirmed he will face a spell on the sidelines.
Bayern Munich has confirmed Medhi Benatia faces a spell out of action after suffering a thigh injury.
The Moroccan center back limped off 36 minutes into the first half of Saturday's 2-1 win over Hoffenheim and was promptly replaced by Rafinha.
Bayern has since confirmed that Benatia has damaged a hamstring muscle but would not speculate on how long he will be out of action.
