In a statement on their website, the club added that he will now be in plaster for ten days before starting his rehab - expected to last around four weeks.
The striker scored Bayern's third goal of the evening at Stamford Bridge, in the 76th minute, when he tapped in Alphonso Davies's cross from the left wing.
Lewandowski has scored 39 goals in 33 games in all competitions for his club this season, including 11 goals in six games in the Champions League and 25 goals in 23 Bundesliga appearances.
Bayern currently have a one point lead at the top of the Bundesliga over RB Leipzig with third-placed Borussia Dortmund trailing them by four points.
