Martinez's ailment adds to an injury list that includes the likes of Jerome Boateng, Medhi Benatia, and Rafinha, leaving Bayern with only one healthy centre-back in Holger Badstuber.
After tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in the 2014 DFL-Supercup, Martinez was limited to only one Bundesliga appearance last season and returned in September.
