The 34-year-old went down in the second half during the match against Hertha Berlin and immediately feared the worst.
Per DW Sports, the former France international knew the injury was serious:
According to Sky Germany (via sports writer Shane Burns), he will be sidelined for up to three months.
It's yet another blow for Bayern, who have started the season in poor form and parted company with coach Carlo Ancelotti on Thursday as a result.
Sunday's match finished in a 2-2 draw after the Bavarians took a two-goal lead, and it should have been a celebration, as Ribery made a 234th appearance for the club, tying the record for a non-German player, per the Bundesliga's official website.
French youngster Kingsley Coman came on for Ribery against Hertha, and the former Juventus man seems a likely replacement for the foreseeable future.
