Bayern said Tuesday the center-back will complete a rehabilitation programme prepared by the club during his holiday but gave no indication as to how long he is expected to be sidelined.
Boateng has rediscovered his best form under Hansi Flick alongside David Alaba at the heart of Bayern’s defence.
