German champions Bayern Munich could be without midfielder Thiago Alcantara for two months after he sustained a knee injury in the draw against Hoffenheim.

The 22-year-old Spaniard will miss the Champions League quarter-final against Manchester United, and also the semi-final if Bayern make it through.

"The partial ligament tear in his knee means he will be out for six to eight weeks," read a tweet from Bayern., external

Bayern secured the title on Tuesday with a record seven games to spare.

But Pep Guardiola's side saw their record run of 19 consecutive Bundesliga wins ended by a lively Hoffenheim side.

The visitors took an early lead through striker Anthony Modeste, before a double from Peruvian forward Claudio Pizarro and Swiss winger Xherdan Shaqiri's goal put the home side firmly in command.

But Hoffenheim took a point thanks to Bosnia midfielder Sejad Salihovic's free-kick and a low strike from Brazilian winger Roberto Firmino.
