Bayern Munich fans and coach Carlo Ancelotti might be experiencing some heart palpitations right about now. The German side’s much-anticipated loan signing, James Rodriguez, has been diagnosed with a leg muscle injury that threatens to keep him out for several weeks. The injury occurred in Bayern’s 3-0 Audi Cup loss to Liverpool yesterday.

He will have some talented company on the bench as starting left-back David Alaba and Spanish international Thiago Alcantara have also succumbed to knocks. It seems Rodriguez’s plight be more serious than his teammates’, however. Injuries plagued the Columbian star a bit while at Real Madrid and there’s more than a few people crossing their fingers that he can stay healthy for the upcoming season and many more to come.
