Reuters - Iran's Ali Karimi suffered an ankle
injury in Bayern Munich's 2-1 home defeat by Hamburg SV on Saturday and will
be out for six to eight weeks, the club said.
The midfielder was injured in the second half of the match played on a muddy
pitch amid heavy snowfall. Karimi is expected to wear a cast on his right
ankle for the next 10 days.
Iran have been drawn to play Mexico, Angola and Portugal in Group D at the
World Cup finals in Germany starting in June.
