Hamit Altintop Injury Blow For Bayern Munich

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have received some disturbing news from the treatment table in the aftermath of their impressive 3-0 league win against Bayer Leverkusen last Tuesday.




Hamit Altintop was initially part of the starting XI for the important match, but the Turkish midfielder sustained a calf injury during the warm-up and had to miss the game due to the knock. Altintop was replaced by Belgian defender Daniel Van Buyten.

Altintop will not return to full match fitness this term.

The 26-year-old had only just returned to match action after a spell on the sidelines due to another calf problem.

Bayern Munich face a tough final two matches of their Bundesliga campaign. They play against Hoffenheim this Saturday and will meet Stuttgart on May 23 in the last match of this season.
