Munich, April 29 (IANS): Bayern Munich's Polish forward Robert Lewandowski is in danger of being sidelined for the rest of the season after suffering a concussion in the DFB-Pokal semi-final against Borussia Dortmund.

Bayern, recently crowned Bundesliga champions, were beaten 1-3 after a penalty shoot-out on Tuesday at their home ground – the Allianz Arena.

Lewandowski, who scored for Bayern, collided against Dortmund goalkeeper Mitchell Langerak during the semi-final and did not take a spot kick during the penalty shootout.

Reportedly Polish team doctor Jacek Jaroszewski has revealed that Lewandowski has a fractured cheekbone and suffered concussion, which is likely to force him to sit out of Bayern's Champions League semi-final first leg against Spanish club FC Barcelona next week.

The striker's agent Cezary Kucharski has suggested that the striker can be out for a longer time than only the match against Barcelona, as he tweeted: "After the investigation, it does not look good. I cannot write anymore."

Bayern clinched the Bundesliga title last weekend by beating Hertha Berlin 1-0 at the Allianz Arena.
