Bayern Trio Set for Spell on the Sidelines Over Injuries Sustained in Liverpool Audi Cup Loss

James Rodriguez will miss the start of the new Bundesliga campaign after the on-loan playmaker picked up a thigh injury against Liverpool.

The Bayern Munich player, who moved to the Germany on a two-season long loan spell from Real Madrid, sustained the problem in his side's 3-0 Audi Cup loss to the Reds on Tuesday.

A statement on Bayern's official site confirmed the prognosis over James' injury, but the German giants failed to put a definitive timeframe on his return to the first-team picture.
