Bayern says “Boateng sustained damage to the adductor muscles in his left thigh,” an injury that will likely rule the 29-year-old defender out for the rest of the season.

Kicker magazine reports that such an injury normally takes four to six weeks to heal.

Boateng wrote on Twitter: “Life is full of setbacks. Live, feel, love, laugh, cry, play, win, lose, stumble, fall, but always get up again. Now it’s a fight to be there in Russia. I’ll do everything for it.”

The World Cup in Russia starts on June 14.
