BREAKING NEWS: Bayern's Vidal out for rest of season after surgery

Arturo Vidal miss will the rest of Bayern Munich's season after having surgery on his knee, ruling him out of the Champions League semi-final with Real Madrid.

A tweet posted by Bayern read: "Get well soon, @kingarturo23.

"Vidal underwent surgery on his knee yesterday, ruling him out for the rest of the season."
