Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic believes Lucas Hernandez will be sidelined for "several weeks" after suffering an ankle injury in Tuesday's Champions League victory.
Hernandez was forced from the field before the hour mark in Bayern's hard-fought 3-2 win away to Olympiacos as the team's defensive crisis worsened.
"He will be out for a long time. Several weeks," Salihamidzic told Sport1 following the match against Olympiacos.
On Hernandez, who was seen leaving the stadium on crutches, Bayern head coach Niko Kovac added: "Hernandez has problems with his ankle. We have to see whether the ligament was also affected.
"He has severe pain on the inside of his ankle; that's why we had to take him out. It's very frustrating."
Javi Martinez – who has been ravaged by injuries – was also substituted at half-time due to a muscle complaint.
"Martinez had a muscular problem in the first half, we didn't want to take any risks, so we reacted," Kovac said.
Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer was left frustrated by his side's performance, admitting more conviction is needed.
"The problem at the moment is that we need to score three goals every game to win because we keep conceding two," Neuer told UEFA.com.
"We made it difficult for ourselves again and didn't have enough conviction. We need to continue working on that, analysing and seeing what we can do better."

Hmmmmm so many defensive problems,we keep conceding too many goals and it's so upsetting I think it's high time we give Lars mai the opportunity to step in and maybe get another CB in the January transfer and he shouldn't cost us more than 20million

well like I said I think he's a great defender but 80 million? and yeah Koman was the same but we got him at a lower price but hopefully Hernandez does get better soon.

Relax. He's a world class player and Bayern will eventually deal with him. Coman was injury prone too initially but now by the grace of God he's doing well.

honestly I cant believe they signed him, I mean he's not a bad player but like you said he's injury prone, and the fact that they paid 80 million for him when they could have used that money on another non injury prone defender, Sule is out for the rest of the season, Hernandez is out for several weeks while Boateng hasn't been great, I'm actually concerned we wont win the league this season
yes
