BAYERN Munich pair David Alaba and Farinha will both miss the start of the 2012-13 season due to injuries sustained in their side's 2-3 friendly loss to Napoli, it was revealed yesterday.
Austrian utility man Alaba, who scored the opening goal in Friday's game, has sustained a stress fracture to his left foot and is likely to be out of action for between six and eight weeks.
The 20-year-old Austrian international will undergo tests in Munich tomorrow to determine whether or not he needs to undergo surgery.
Brazilian defender Farinha, 26, ruptured ligaments in his right ankle and is expected to be out for around five weeks.
The pair will therefore miss Bayern's forthcoming tour to China, starting today, along with Germany internationals Bastian Schweinsteiger and Philipp Lahm, who have been granted extra time off by coach Jupp Heynckes.
Bayern will play two friendly matches in China, against Chinese Super League's Beijing Guo'an in Beijing on Tuesday and against German Bundesliga rival VfL Wolfsburg in Guangdong Province two days later.
Bayern's domestic commitments begin on August 12, when it faces double winner Borussia Dortmund in the German Super Cup.
Champions League runner-up to Chelsea last season, Heynckes' men start their Bundesliga campaign with a trip to promoted Greuther Furth on August 25.
