Rabat - Morocco international and Bayern Munich central defender Mehdi Benatia will be absent for a month due to a hamstring injury.
It is now confirmed that the 27-year-old will miss both legs of his team's quarter-final against FC Porto. The former AS Roma defender limped out of his team's penalty win against Bayer Leverkusen in the DFB-Pokal on Wednesday.
"Following medical tests I am out for two to four weeks," Benatia tweeted on Thursday. "I'm disappointed, but it is an occupational hazard."
Benatia's injury adds to Bayern Munich's injury woes as many of the team's key players are sidelined due to injuries. The list includes Bastian Schweinsteiger, David Alaba, Javi Martinez and reserve keeper Tom Starke.
The Morocco international has made 10 appearances for the Bavarians thus far this season since completing a move from Italian side AS Roma in the summer of 2014.
