Bayern Munich's promising teenage midfielder, Lennart Karl, will be out of action after suffering a thigh muscle injury. The 18-year-old's rapid rise this season underscores his potential, having scored five goals and delivered four assists in the Bundesliga alone.

According to the club's statement, Karl sustained a torn muscle in his right rear thigh, with Bayern's medical team confirming the diagnosis. This injury means the young attacking midfielder will be absent indefinitely, an unfortunate setback as Bayern lead the Bundesliga by nine points with six games remaining.

Bayern is set to visit St Pauli on Saturday before hosting Real Madrid for the Champions League quarter-final second leg. They also have a German Cup semi-final against Bayer Leverkusen scheduled for April 22, making Karl's absence a notable gap in their lineup.
