An examination conducted late Friday evening revealed this, the club announced the day after the 0-0 draw between the two relegation-threatened teams. It remains unclear how long the 34-year-old will be out.

In the 50th minute, Müller collided with opponent Ibrahima Sissoko while battling for the ball and initially lay unconscious. Teammates immediately rushed to help, before medical personnel took over and stabilized the goalkeeper behind a screen for several minutes.
