FC Bayern have to give up their offensive pro James Rodríguez for a longer time. As the German football champion announced, the Colombian had suffered during the day before in training an outer band break in the left knee. The diagnosis was made by team doctor Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt.
The 27-year-old must first immobilize the joint for ten days before therapy and rehab could begin, it said. Bayern did not publish a more accurate forecast of downtime. Maybe the national player will not play in this calendar year.
James did not play the expected supporting role under coach Niko Kovac this season. In eleven competitive matches, he scored three goals and prepared two. Reports that the loan from Real Madrid now and then attracted attention by non-discipline, the Munich have contradicted.

Kingsley Coman
French international Kingsley Coman has promised his comeback soon. "I need two more weeks, then I'll be back," said the 22-year-old on Wednesday at a public relations meeting in Munich.
Coman lacks the German record champion since the end of August. He had in the Bundesliga kick-off against TSG Hoffenheim (3: 1) in a foul by national player Nico Schulz a syndesmoseriss.
Apart from Coman and James, Kovac is currently without Arjen Robben, Corentin Tolisso and Thiago.
