MUNICH (AP) - Bayern Munich forward Leroy SanÃ© will be out 'œfor the time being'ť after injuring his left thigh, the German club said Monday.

Medical examinations showed that SanÃ© tore a left thigh muscle during Sunday's 5-0 win over Freiburg, the club said.

It didn't specify how long SanÃ© might spend on the sidelines, only that 'œFC Bayern will be without Leroy SanÃ© for the time being.'ť

SanÃ© played 76 minutes and scored in the win over Freiburg.

Bayern next plays Wednesday against Augsburg in the second round of the German Cup before visiting Hoffenheim on Saturday in the Bundesliga and Barcelona in the Champions League next week.

SanÃ© is a key player for Germany ahead of the World Cup in Qatar. His Bayern and Germany teammate Thomas MÃ¼ller left last week's Champions League win over Viktoria Plzen with what coach Julian Nagelsmann said was an issue with his back, and did not play against Freiburg.
