Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng says his adductor injury has hit him hard, but he does not expect to miss Euro 2016 with Germany.
The 27-year-old will reportedly be out for at least three months of action after picking up the injury in Friday's 2-1 Bundesliga win over Hamburg.
"I have never had a serious muscle injury before in my career," the centre-back told Kicker.
"I will not be in a great mood in the upcoming weeks, because I am unable to let off steam on the pitch.
"I was shocked and very sad on Friday and Saturday, but I am already looking ahead again.
"I should be fit in time for Euro 2016. It is all about reaching my normal level again once I return."
Boateng's absence leaves Bayern with a key gap to fill after he appeared in 17 of their 18 Bundesliga matches this season.
