The Brazilian was expected to travel with his teammates to Valencia for Bayern's Champions League clash but stayed in Germany and has since had surgery on a troublesome groin injury.
And manager Jupp Heynckes admits it is a blow to the Bavarians.
"It's a painful loss," said Heynckes. "I don't know how long he is going to be out for.
"He is an important player in my system and I hope to have him back as soon as possible. He's been having a good season."
