Hernandez, Goretzka, Süle ... Flick takes stock of the injured Bayern four days before the return match against PSG

Just four days before the return leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich have their injuries.

Present at a press conference this Friday, Hansi Flick did a little staff review.

The Bavarian club coach first signaled that Leon Goretzka, Niklas Süle, Lucas Hernández and Marc Roca would be unavailable for Saturday's meeting against Union Berlin.

Providing, later details concerning the first two, left injured in the first period this Wednesday during the Parisian victory (2-3) at the Allianz Arena: “Leon Goretzka and Niklas Süle have muscle problems.

Leon's problems are not as bad as Niklas's.

Niklas Süle will therefore probably also miss the return leg against PSG, he told reporters.

We have to wait and see how things develop. ”

Hernandez and Goretzka expected for Tuesday

Lucas Hernandez is also in the infirmary.

The versatile French defender is not the victim of a muscle injury like his teammates.

He would have received a painful blow which forces him to take a little rest.

If the 56-year-old technician is rather pessimistic about the chances of seeing Niklas Süle on the lawn of the Parc des Princes next Tuesday, he is more confident for the 2018 world champion and Leon Goretzka - a fundamental player in his system, especially in the pressing at the loss of the ball - and he "hopes" that they "will be available in Paris".

As a reminder, the Bayern Munich coach will probably already have to do without his flagship scorer Robert Lewandowski and Serge Gnabry, affected by Covid-19.

Joshua Kimmich, who caused serious problems for PSG in the first leg, Benjamin Pavard and Leroy Sané were preserved.

They are not affected and should be able to be aligned this Saturday and Tuesday evening.
