The centre-back has traveled to Munich after his former girlfriend Kasia Lenhardt was found dead in Berlin yesterday.
"The news from Berlin hurt us very much," said FC Bayern coach Hansi Flick at a press conference on Wednesday.
"Jerome asked me to let him travel back to Germany, and we have granted him permission to do so. He will not be available to us until further notice."
