Thiago says he will be out 'a few weeks' after latest knee injury
Reuters
Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara announced on Sunday that he will only be out for "a few weeks" after sustaining a knee injury on international duty.
The 24-year-old limped off the pitch during the first half of a friendly against England earlier in the week, and later left Spain's squad altogether.
It's a sign of relief for supporters of both Bayern and Spain, who have witnessed Thiago suffer relapse after relapse in recent times. Last year, he suffered through two knee problems that kept him out for the majority of the season.
This latest setback involved the same right knee that required surgery to repair ligaments in October 2014.
