Noussair Mazraoui is substituted early in FC Bayern Munich's Bundesliga game at VfL Bochum.
The FCB staffing level is threatening to become thinner.
Bochum/Munich – Noussair Mazraoui was again in the starting line-up in the away game at VfL Bochum.
The Moroccan apparently sustained an injury during the game as he had to be substituted after just 34 minutes.
Dayot Upamecano came into the game in his place, having to sit on the bench after his red card and penalty in Rome.
Bayern full-back substituted early in Bochum
The Frenchman warmed up intensively from the middle of the first half and prepared himself for action.
When the fans in the stands protested against the possible DFL investor by throwing tennis balls onto the pitch and referee Daniel Schlager interrupted the game, FC Bayern made the change.
It is not yet known what injury Mazraoui suffered.
The 26-year-old did not require any treatment until he was substituted and did not show any signs of being ill.

A new injury would be extremely bitter for Noussair Mazraoui, as he was only out from mid-December to the end of January with a torn muscle bundle.
He celebrated his comeback at the Africa Cup of Nations, but was eliminated with Morocco in the round of 16 of the competition after a 2-0 defeat against South Africa.
After his return from the Africa Cup, he was in the starting line-up in the Bundesliga games against Borussia Mönchengladbach, at Bayer Leverkusen and in the Champions League against Lazio Rome and showed impressive performances.
Will Mazraoui be missing from FC Bayern longer?
The 26-year-old would increase the problems in the full-back positions, as Alphonso Davies and Konrad Laimer are not yet fully fit and Sasha Boey will be out for several weeks.
The new signing from Galatasaray Istanbul suffered a large torn fiber in his left rear thigh.

In addition to the failures on defense, FC Bayern Munich are also missing two professionals on the offensive.
At least Serge Gnabry should soon be an option for head coach Thomas Tuchel again.
Kingsley Coman, on the other hand, will be missing from the German record champions for a long time.
