Jupp Heynckes Gives Positive Update on Key Injured Pair as Champions League Return Looms

Bayern Munich's progression in the DFB-Pokal this week was not without consequence.

The German champions defeated Paderborn 6-0 in the quarter-final of the tournament on Tuesday, but lost Thomas Muller during the match, with the forward suffering a bruised thigh.

Muller had to be replaced by summer signing Corentin Tolisso after 32 minutes, leaving the Bavarians sweating. But Bayern manager Jupp Heynckes has since confirmed that there's no reason for heightened worry as the player should be available for selection in a few days.

"Muller has a bruised thigh so we'll have to see how the injury develops over the next few days," he said, via Goal.
