Bayern defender Boateng faces fitness test ahead of Champions League final against PSG

Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng will need to pass a fitness test if he is to feature in Sunday's Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain, boss Hansi Flick has confirmed.

Boateng was taken off and replaced by Niklas Sule at half-time of Bayern’s 3-0 semi-final victory against Lyon on Wednesday, with Flick later revealing the 31-year-old had picked up a muscle injury.

The former Manchester City defender was able to train with his team-mates on Saturday, but will need clearance from the medical team if he is to face PSG.
