Bayern Munich lost more than just the match when they fell to bitter rivals Borussia Dortmund in Tuesday's German Cup semifinal.

Star winger Arjen Robben suffered a torn calf muscle, ruling him out for the remainder of the season, and the news surrounding the status of striker Robert Lewandowski wasn't much better.

The Polish striker, who has scored 23 goals this season, was on the receiving end of a heavy blow from Dortmund goalkeeper Mitchell Langerak late in extra time, and spent the night in hospital, where he was diagnosed with the trio of ailments.

"The exact length of the striker’s absence will be announced on completion of further medical examinations," the club noted in a statement.

Bayern is set to play Barcelona in the opening leg of their Champions League semifinal tie next week, and losing Lewandowski would be just another massive obstacle in a season that has been marred by injuries.
