Bad news

Musiala missed the first six months of the season after fracturing his left fibula with ligament damage to his ankle at the FIFA Club World Cup in July last year. Both he and Urbig suffered their injuries in stoppage time against Atalanta, while Davies, who came on after the break, had to be substituted in tears 20 minutes before the final whistle.

Bayern did not say how long the three players will be out, stating only that they “will need to take a break.”

Spot secured

The rout over the Italians in Bergamo left the spot in the Champions League quarterfinals all but secured, giving the German team a very comfortable advantage for the second leg next Tuesday at the Allianz Arena.

In the Bundesliga, Bayern leads with an 11-point advantage with nine rounds to go. In the German Cup, the team will face Bayer Leverkusen in the semifinals.
