Bayern Munich defender Mats Hummels will miss the UEFA Champions League encounter against Real Madrid, the German giants announced in an official statement on Sunday.

The 28-year-old defender had to interrupt Bayern's trainings session on Sunday after suffering an ankle injury.

According to the club's statement Hummels sustained a distortion of the right upper ankle and also an injury of the capsule apparatus.

"Very sad about missing at least the next two games,"Hummels said in short statement.

Hummels will thus be not available for the upcoming quarter-final clash against Real Mardid on Wednesday and the Bundesliga match against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday.

Bayern Munich sit currently atop the Bundesliga standings with a ten-point advantage.

They still have the chance to lift three titles this season as they are in the race for the Bundesliga title, German Cup and UEFA Champions League trophy. Endit
