Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben has been ruled out for the rest of the season after tearing his left calf muscle during his side's German Cup semi-final defeat by Borussia Dortmund.
Robben's club team-mate Robert Lewandowski is also set for a spell on the sidelines after breaking his jaw and nose in Tuesday's cup match at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern Munich also confirmed that the former Dortmund striker suffered concussion, making him a major doubt for the Bundesliga giants' upcoming Champions League encounter against Barcelona.

Lewandoski has taken to Twitter to say: 'It's a few more days till the match at Camp Nou, I really hope I will be able to play!'
The Poland international also revealed he had a 'face cast made' in order to give him a chance of returning to action as soon as possible.
Robben lasted just 16 minutes after coming on as a second-half substitute during what turned out to be a miserable night for the German giants.
Pep Guardiola is already unable to call on the services of Franck Ribery and David Alaba for his highly-anticipated reunion with his former side at the Nou Camp next Wednesday.
