Munich, Oct 11 (AP) Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano has been ruled out for several weeks with a left hamstring injury, while teammates Matthijs de Ligt and Serge Gnabry are working on their comebacks.

Bayern said Wednesday that a scan determined the extent of Upamecano's injury after he had to go off toward the end of the team's 3-0 win over Freiburg on Sunday, and that it puts “him out of action for the time being.”
