Aleksandar Pavlovic's shift in Bayern's Saturday night victory over Stuttgart lasted just eight minutes. The 20-year-old German national team midfielder landed directly on his shoulder on his way down from an aerial duel and was immediately subbed off in favor of Joao Palhinha. 

FCB board-member-for-sport Max Eberl told the Sky microphones afterwards that the team medical staff were operating on the assumption that a serious injury will sideline the four-times-capped international for a number of weeks if not months.

"We are assuming that he has a broken collarbone,” Eberl told the Sky on-pitch team, "This is really dramatic for Aleks. But, we have the depth in the squad to make up for it.’
