On Saturday, Bayern Munich's head coach Thomas Tuchel acknowledged two new personnel problems in his squad.
This is due to happenings in Bayern Munich's Bundesliga match against Eintracht Frankfurt earlier this afternoon.
The Bavarians, for their part, defeated Eintracht 2-1 at the Allianz Arena to prepare for their upcoming Champions League semi-final first leg against Real Madrid.
However, it appears that their eventual success was not without cost.
During the 90-minute match on Saturday, both Konrad Laimer and Matthijs de Ligt were forced to leave the game early.
Speaking to the media after the match, Thomas Tuchel admitted that the pair's exits were due to respective injury blows:
"Konny Laimer has twisted his ankle and sustained a capsule injury." Matthijs de Ligt has a knee ailment involving the inner ligament. We need to check if they're both fit by Tuesday."
Just three days before meeting the aforementioned Real Madrid, Bayern Munich's timing could not be worse.
Add to that the fact that Jamal Musiala was forced to withdraw from the match against Eintracht at the last minute, Dayot Upamecano suffered a training ground injury on Friday, Leroy Sané is still out, and Kingsley Coman is out for the season, and the German heavyweights could be missing as many as six key players on Tuesday night.
