Bayern Munich says Argentina defender Martin Demichelis will be out
for three weeks after suffering facial injuries during his
country's friendly against Germany.
Bayern said Thursday that Demichelis underwent surgery in
Munich overnight after his cheekbone and upper jaw were fractured.
He sustained the injuries when he was hit accidentally in the
face on Wednesday by the knee of Germany captain Michael Ballack.
Bayern said Demichelis will have to remain in hospital for
two or three days and then rest for two weeks before he can resume
training.
The club said the 29-year-old could, if his recovery goes
well, be fit for Bayern's German Cup semifinal against Schalke on
March 24.
