According to a release on the club website, Bayern Munich phenom Lennart Karl will be out for the “foreseeable future” with a torn muscle in his right thigh:
Lennart Karl has torn a muscle in his right rear thigh. The diagnosis was confirmed by the FC Bayern medical unit. It means the 18-year-old attacking midfielder will be sidelined for the foreseeable future.
How long will Karl be out? While the club has not released that information, but Sky Germany journalist Kerry Hau is reporting three weeks,
which can only be considered as unofficial at this point. However, Hau could give some guidance on the potential timeline for a return:

This is awful timing and news for Karl and for Bayern Munich alike. The youngster was set to take on a bigger role for the Bavarians as the squad is seeking to secure a treble and was also competing for a spot on the German national team roster for the World Cup.
An extended spell on the sidelines will hurt Bayern Munich’s depth and hurt Karl’s chance to make Julian Nagelsmann’s final roster for the World Cup tourney.
