Oct 24, 2020 5:27 PM

Alphonso Davies will miss 6-8 weeks due to ligament damage in his ankle.

Davies suffered the injury three minutes into Bayern's 5-0 win against Eintracht.

"He sustained a ligament injury. One ligament is fully torn, another is partially torn. We reckon he'll be sidelined for six to eight weeks. It hurts when a player of this quality is ruled out," said Hansi Flick.

Davies was replaced by Lucas Hernandez.

Virgil van Dijk will undergo surgery to repair an ACL injury suffered in a 2-2 draw against Everton.

There is no timetable on van Dijk's return until after the surgery, though sources have yet to rule him out for the season.
