Bayern Munich vs. Darmstadt: Injury-raved Bavarians looking for improvement

Bayern Munich's season has been plagued with injuries, but Matthias Sammer does not expect performances to drop as a result.

Bayern Munich cannot afford a slow start in its DFB-Pokal last-16 clash with Darmstadt on Tuesday, says sporting director Matthias Sammer.

The Bavarian giants struggled against Ingolstadt in their Bundesliga clash over the weekend, failing to get a shot on target until Robert Lewandowski's effort in the 25th minute.

Bayern did eventually overcome its plucky opponent, with goals from the Polish striker and Philipp Lahm ensuring a place at the top of the table during the midseason break.
