Nagelsmann misses out on Bayern's Benfica visit with 'flu-like infection'

Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann will not be present for his side's Champions League visit to 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.

But he will have to watch from afar as his charges look to continue their perfect start in Europe in the Estadio da Luz.

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.
