Bayern Munich’s versatile left-back David Alaba could miss Saturday’s Bundesliga clash with Borussia Dortmund after picking up a knee injury in Austria’s 1-1 draw against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Tuesday, the German champions said.
Alaba, who partially tore a ligament in his right knee in November and was ruled out for three months, will undergo further checks in Munich later in the day, Bayern said in a statement on Wednesday.
Alaba was taken off injured shortly before halftime with a stinging pain in his left knee.
He had been in superb form for Bayern since his comeback earlier this year, helping them stay firmly on track for a treble of titles with some spectacular goals.
Bayern, who are top of the Bundesliga and through to the German Cup last eight, face Porto in the Champions League quarter-finals later this month.
