From the source

Bayern Munich will be without Ismael Saibari and Serge Gnabry following Saturday’s 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund, with both players picking up injuries during Der Klassiker.

According to the club’s official website, Saibari suffered a tear to the syndesmotic ligament in his right ankle and has already undergone surgery. The injury is particularly concerning, with Bild (via @iMiaSanMia) reporting that the midfielder is expected to be sidelined for at least three months.

Gnabry, meanwhile, sustained a muscular injury in his left hamstring. Bayern Munich has confirmed the diagnosis but has not yet provided a specific timeline for his return.
