BERLIN (Reuters) - Bayern Munich defender Holger Badstuber will undergo surgery for a torn thigh muscle tendon only weeks after his comeback from a 20-month break due to consecutive cruciate ligament tears, the club said on Sunday.

Badstuber was injured in their 2-0 league win over VfB Stuttgart and his injury was initially seen as not serious.
