FC Bayern Munich will probably have to do without Thomas Müller and Joshua Kimmich in the top game next weekend in Dortmund.
The two national players have tested positive for the corona virus.
According to the club, both are symptom-free and are in domestic isolation.
This means that the number of corona cases in the club is increasing.
In the previous week, Manuel Neuer and Leon Goretzka had already tested positive for the national team.
However, both were back on the pitch in Bayern's 4-0 win against Bayer Leverkusen on Friday.
Müller got it for the third time.
In 2021 he missed the final of the Club World Cup due to an infection, and in February 2022 he was out for the second time due to Corona.
Kimmich, who caused a stir after initially deciding against a corona vaccination, became infected in November 2021. At that time, however, he was already vaccinated.
After that, he was out for the rest of the year due to lung problems.
Both players were in the starting XI in the win against Leverkusen, and Müller scored the goal to make it 4-0.
