Sule sustained an injury on his left knee during Bayern Munich's 2-2 draw against Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
"In a major setback for Niklas Sule and FC Bayern, the big centre-back sustained a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the early minutes of Saturday's 2-2 draw at Augsburg," the club said in a statement.
