MARSEILLE, France (AP) -Marseille central defender Souleymane Diawara looks set to miss the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinal against Bayern Munich after rupturing a knee ligament.

Diawara limped off early in the first half of Saturday's 1-1 away draw with Nice, which ended Marseille's eight-match losing streak.

Marseille said Sunday on its website that the club doctor will look after Diawara but didn't specify how long the player will be out for.

The 33-year-old Diawara is suspended for the first leg of the quarterfinal against Munich on Wednesday.
