Bayern Munich says Croatia striker Ivica Olic will be out of action for six to eight weeks with a hip injury.

Olic was hurt in Saturday's 5-0 win against Hamburger SV after coming on as a substitute. He scored the final goal in what was one of his first matches after being sidelined for nine months due to a knee injury.

Olic said Sunday that ''this is a disaster. I was so pleased finally to be able to play again. But that's how professional sport is.''
