Forwards Serge Gnabry and Robert Lewandowski are doubtful at Bayern for next Tuesday’s game against Barcelona at the Camp Nou after being substituted in the last Bundesliga game against Leipzig.
Gnabry has “something on his back,” according to coach Julian Nagelsmann who said it may be low back pain.
“Anyone who has had it knows that it can happen soon or that it can last longer than until Tuesday,” explained Nagelsmann.
“I hope it is ready for Tuesday but I cannot say for sure,” he added.
Lewandwski, for his part, was replaced with abductor problems, although Nagelsmann said it was primarily a “precautionary measure.”
Lewy had abductor problems, some tension. It was a precautionary measure, I don’t think there is anything structural, “said Nagelsmann.
In the event that Gnabry was dismissed, his replacement would probably be Jamal Musiala, who had a great second half against Leipzig. Kingsley Coman would be another alternative but he’s coming off an injury and he’s not sure he’s ready for Tuesday.
With respect to Lewandowski, his natural substitute is Eric-Maxim Choupo Moting. EFE (HN)
