Bayern Munich suffer another injury blow ahead of the second leg of their Champions League tie against Arsenal, with the star joining Serge Gnabry on the sidelines

Bayern Munich have suffered another injury blow ahead of the Champions League quarter-final second leg against Arsenal.

The German club drew 2-2 with the Gunners in the first leg at the Emirates Stadium this week.

That was followed by a 2-0 win at home to Köln in the Bundesliga, with Raphael Guerreiro and Thomas Muller getting on the scoresheet.

However, Thomas Tuchel is set to be without a key player due to an injury sustained against Cologne.

The news will be a source of frustration for Tuchel as Bayern look set to finish strongly in what has been a challenging campaign.

Tuchel will be without Kingsley Coman for the second leg against Arsenal due to an adductor muscle problem.

The winger, who appeared as a substitute in the first leg against the Gunners, had to be replaced in the 50th minute against Cologne.

He told Sky; ‘The big downside to the whole game is the injury to Kingsley Coman. It makes me very sad because I know how hard he worked and how important he is to us. First, Serge Gnabry is out, then he and Leroy Sane are in doubt (until Wednesday).’

As Tuchel alluded to, Bayern are also without another winger in Serge Gnabry.

Gnabry scored against his former club Arsenal but was then taken off in the 70th minute after suffering a hamstring problem.

Bayern confirmed Gnabry’s absence in an official statement: ‘FC Bayern must do without Serge Gnabry for the time being,’ the club’s statement read.

‘The winger suffered a muscle strain in his left hamstring in the 2-2 draw against Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-final first leg, as confirmed by a scan by FC Bayern’s medical department.’

Another winger, Leroy Sane, has been struggling with pubic bone irritation, which meant he did not play against Cologne. However, Sane expressed hope that he could play against Arsenal, telling BILD: ‘I hope so. It should work.’

Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was rested against Cologne after recently returning from an adductor injury, but he should be fit to play against Arsenal.

Commenting on Coman’s injury, Thomas Muller stated that Bayern have had to deal with injury problems at this stage of the season before, such as when Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben were sidelined.

Muller told Sky: ‘It’s not the first time in my time here that we’ve lost important players towards the quarter-finals and semi-finals of the Champions League, it was the case with Rib (Ribéry) and Rob (Robben) from time to time’.
