The Congolese forward was taken off in the 31st minute of the match away to Bayern after going down in a tackle. He underwent a medical examination on Sunday morning, which revealed that he had torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. This will rule him out for a number of months, meaning that he will have to miss the rest of the season. The precise nature of the treatment that he will need will be decided over the next few days.
VfB would like to wish Silas all the very best for a full and speedy recovery.
