Fresh off a commanding victory over Hamburg in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich’s focus has swiftly shifted to the European stage. Yet, their preparations for the UEFA Champions League have been clouded by an untimely setback, as the squad must now contend with the absence of a key contributor.

Official confirmation from Bayern Munich

The club confirmed that versatile midfielder Raphaël Guerreiro has sustained a minor injury to his abdominal muscles. While not deemed severe, the issue will force him to the sidelines for an indeterminate period, with no concrete timeline yet established for his recovery.

This absence comes at a particularly delicate moment, as the Bavarians are set to host English giants Chelsea at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday, September 17th. Guerreiro’s creative influence and tactical flexibility will be missed as Bayern looks to secure a strong start to their European campaign.
