Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski has found himself on the bench for a Bundesliga match for the first time in more than two years.
The prolific hitman was left out by head coach Hansi Flick for the trip to face Hoffenheim, with young Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee preferred in his place to lead an attacking line that also consists of Leroy Sane, Thomas Muller and Serge Gnabry.
A clash against Augsburg at home on September 25, 2018 was the last time he did not feature in the starting XI when fit from the outset for a league match.
