Bayern without Schweinsteiger in Leverkusen

World Champion Bastian Schweinsteiger will miss Bayern München’s DFB Cup quarter-final with Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday (20:30 CEST). “He definitely unavailable,” said manager Pep Guardiola on Tuesday about the Germany captain, who is suffering from an ankle injury. Bayern will also be without Arjen Robben, David Alaba and Franck Ribéry.

“That’s life, that’s football,” said Guardiola about the absence of so many important players in the crucial stage of the season. It’ll be a challenge for him to find a solution to the problem. “You hope to have your best team available in April and May but that’s not the case and therefore we’ll have to adapt.” However, he added, that there won’t be “any excuses!”
