Saibari has surgery for an ankle ligament tear and Bayern teammate Gnabry has a hamstring injury

Bayern Munich midfielder Ismael Saibari has undergone surgery following a right ankle ligament tear sustained during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga. The incident occurred when Saibari collided with Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel, causing him to be helped off the field by two members of Bayern's medical staff. Saibari, who had previously excelled for Morocco at the World Cup, joined Bayern during the tournament from PSV Eindhoven.

Bayern also confirmed that forward Serge Gnabry suffered a left hamstring injury, although the duration of his absence was not disclosed. The extent of each player's recovery remains unclear at this point. No further information was provided regarding Michael Olise, another injured France star who left the field with his hands covering his face and signaling for a substitution.

Additionally, Luis Diaz, the goal-scoring winger, did not participate in the match against Dortmund due to a thigh issue, while goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was absent from the game due to a foot problem.
