The talented midfielder, despite just hitting his stride in recent weeks, has been dealt an injury setback.

Bayern Munich have officially confirmed this evening that Tom Bischof has suffered a minor muscle tear in his left calf.

The news has broken on the eve of the Bavarian club's Champions League quarter-final duel with Real Madrid which starts at 21:00 CET.

This diagnosis was the result of an examination by FC Bayern's medical department who ran tests on the young midfielder.

As a result, the German record champions believe the 20-year-old will therefore be sidelined indefinitely for the time being.

It comes as a big blow to Vincent Kompany's side given the versatile German has been key in enabling rotation in recent Bundesliga games.

Last Saturday, Bischof played 90 minutes at left-back in the 5-0 win over FC St. Pauli and scored twice the previous weekend in a 3-2 triumph in Freiburg.
