Bayern Munich left-back David Alaba could miss the remainder of the season due to a knee injury.

The 22-year-old suffered the injury while on international duty with Austria, being forced off shortly before half time in their friendly against Bosnia on Tuesday night.

It has since been confirmed that he suffered a medial collateral ligament tear in his left knee, which is expected to keep him sidelined for at least seven weeks.

Alaba could still be fit in time for his side's last two Bundesliga matches of the season, in addition to the finals of the Champions League and the DFB-Pokal, but manager Pep Guardiola is unlikely to rush the youngster back.

Alaba has already missed two months of the current campaign due to another knee injury sustained in November.
