Bayern's Holger Badstuber sits injured on the ground during the soccer match between FC Bayern Munich and VfB Stuttgart in the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on Saturday.

Bayern Munich defender Holger Badstuber will have to undergo surgery due to a thigh injury, an examination has revealed.

Badstuber’s bad luck with injury continues as the defender was again sidelined on Sunday after returning recently from a 20-month break to recover from cruciate ligament knee injuries, reports Xinhua.

The defender ruptured a tendon in his left thigh in Bayern’s 2-0 victory over Stuttgart, Bayern’s club doctor Hans-Wilhelm Mueller-Wohlfahrt revealed.

The injury requires a surgical operation, which means another injury break for the defender.

“I am obviously very disappointed right now but of course I now know how to deal with situations like this. I will be back and I will pick it up from where I left off after battling to return from my long injury lay off. I wont give up,” Badstuber told the club’s official homepage.

The 25-year-old German international is a home-grown talent who made 104 appearances and scored one goal.
