Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann was missing for his side's Champions League victory against Benfica after coming down with a "flu-like infection", the club confirmed on Wednesday.
Nagelsmann has enjoyed a fantastic start to life on the Bayern bench since moving from RB Leipzig over the summer.
However, he had to watch from afar as his charges continued their perfect start in Europe at the Estadio da Luz with a 4-0 victory.
What was said?
"Unfortunately, Julian Nagelsmann cannot sit on the bench today due to a flu-like infection," Bayern explained on the club's official Twitter account.
