Santa Cruz sidelined

Bayern Munich's miserable season has worsened with the news that Roque Santa Cruz's injury is serious.

Bayern Munich's miserable season has worsened with the news that Roque Santa Cruz's injury is more serious than first thought.

The talented Paraguay international has been forced on to the sidelines for at least six weeks courtesy of knee problems.

Santa Cruz picked up the injury whilst representing his country in midweek and now joins a lengthy injury list at the German giants.

New coach Felix Magath has endured a desperate start to life at the Olypiastadion and saw his side booed off at the weekend against Arminia Bielefeld.

Dutch hitman Roy Makaay secured all three points in a performance that was ill-received by the Bayern faithful.
