Nothing too serious and his participation in the World Cup should not be in jeopardy," Toppmoeller told reporters.Bayern coach Nagelsmann said the two-times African Footballer of the Year would undergo scans on the injury."I can't say anything for sure, he took a blow to the head of his shin.
That's an unpleasant spot, it radiates a bit into the muscles," Nagelsmann said. "I think he has to go to the X-ray to see if there is something there, because it is splintering easily.
