Aleksandar Pavlovic is also expected to be out against Arsenal. This is not the first time he has been absent due to illness. Other Bayern players are hopeful.
Munich – FC Bayern is still in crisis. The record champions gave up a 2-0 lead against the underdog in Heidenheim and lost. The signs before the all-important quarter-final first leg in the Champions League against the in-form Arsenal speak against Munich. The injured players also continue to worry coach Thomas Tuchel. Among them: youngster Aleksandar Pavlovic. It is becoming increasingly unlikely that he will be able to take part in London.
Pavlovic is “completely flat” again – tonsillitis is not the reason
At the press conference before the game, Tuchel revealed that the 19-year-old was “completely flat” again – he was only missing the classic against BVB due to tonsillitis. This had already deprived Bayern's high-flyer of his debut in the German national team.

But she wasn't the reason for Pavlovic's absence from Heidenheim. Instead, the defensive midfielder caught an infection shortly after returning to team training after the game against Dortmund and was therefore unable to play against the promoted team.
This is not the first time that Bayern jewel Pavlovic has been absent due to illness
It is questionable whether Pavlovic will recover from his cold before the first leg against the Gunners. On Sunday he was still missing from the record champions' training session. It is unlikely that he will travel to London on Monday.
It is not the 19-year-old's first absence due to illness this season. Already in early autumn, the Munich gem suffered from tonsillitis twice, but after that he got off to an even more impressive start.

Pavlovic will probably also be missing against Arsenal – the Bayern quartet could return
The repeated absence is therefore bitter for Pavlovic, who has recently shown outstanding performances - and for Tuchel, who would have liked to have relied on him against Arsenal. However, the return of other regular staff could appease the coach, who was recently frustrated by FC Bayern's hospital.
The recently injured Kingsley Coman, Noussair Mazraoui and Leroy Sané took part in team training on Sunday, while Manuel Neuer completed individual sessions. That should make the FC Bayern coach hopeful before the cracker against Arsenal. Whether the quartet will be at the Emirates Stadium will probably only become clear during the final training session on Monday.
A comeback would be an important sign,
especially for Sané, who, according to information from

, is ready for action just like Neuer. After all, the Bayern star recently brought back dark memories with an injury.
