Bayern Munich central
defender Daniel van Buyten will undergo surgery after breaking a
bone in his left foot in Friday's 3-1 defeat to Borussia
Monchengladbach, the club said on Saturday.
"The Belgian international will be operated on later on
Saturday," the club said in a statement.
"We will have a serious prognosis of how long he will be out
after the surgery," said Bayern doctor Hans-Wilhelm
Muller-Wohlfahrt.
Van Buyten clashed with Gladbach forward Marco Reus and was
taken off in the 76th minute.
Bayern saw their Bundesliga lead shaved to one point after
the defeat against Gladbach in the first league match after a
one-month winter break.
They are still in the running in the
Champions League and the German Cup.
