The defensive pair are also doubtful for Saturday’s away match when Bundesliga leaders Bayern visit Borussia Moenchengladbach. Bayern head coach Jupp Heynckes will have to re-arrange his defence after resting Alaba and playing Brazilian international Rafinha at left-back in Saturday’s 3-0 win at home to Augsburg. Having lost 3-0 to PSG in Paris in September, Bayern have only a slim chance of winning the group. “We are on a run and you have to stay in this flow,” said Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. Neuer is expected to soon be off crutches and there is “no cause for pessimism”, added the Bayern chairman.
