"Bayern are set to be without midfielder Thiago for a lengthy period of time," Bayern said on their website. (fcbayern.com)

"Coach Jupp Heynckes revealed that the Spain international 'most probably has a serious muscle injury in his thigh'."

Bayern sealed qualification to the Champions League knockout stages last month and host Group B leaders Paris St Germain in their final group game on Dec. 5.
