The 27-year-old suffered a minor muscle tear in his thigh during their 2-2 friendly against Palermo last Saturday. 

Ghrieb will be fully checked out by medical personnel and advised on steps towards making a full recovery.

Whether he will be fit to play in the season opener against Dynamo Dresden will become clear in the coming days.

The French midfielder only just joined the Bavarian club from fellow second division side 1.FC Magdeburg this summer.
