Bayern
Munich have confirmed that their full-back defender “David Alaba” will miss out
on Wednesday's Champions League group opener against “Red Star Belgrade” after
picking up a thigh injury.
The
27years old, was not listed in the starting line-up just before kick-off in
Bayern's 1-1 draw at RB Leipzig on Saturday after getting injured in the
warm-up.
The
announcement was made on Sunday, which confirms that the Austrian international
had torn a muscle in his left thigh, and said he would be out of action
"for the time being".
David
Alaba, who won the Champions League with Bayern in 2013, has become a senior
figure in the Bayern dressing room following the departures of veteran players
such as Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben last season.
Indeed,
his absence on Saturday fixtures forced the head coach “Niko Kovac” to shuffle
his defence line up as Bayern munchen missed a chance to go top of the
Bundesliga against Leipzig on Saturday.
During
the Bundisliga fixtures, It was observed that new signing Lucas Hernandez
filled in for “David Alaba” on the left while “Jerome Boateng” took Hernandez'
position in central defence.
