Nagelsmann confirms Goretzka and Davies will not play against Benfica
Julian Nagelsmann has confirmed that Leon Goretzka and Alphonso Davies will miss Bayern München's clash with Benfica.
Bayern München coach Julian Nagelsmann has offered a squad update ahead of his side's Champions League clash with Benfica in Lisbon tomorrow.
In addition to Alphonso Davies, who was forced off during Sunday's 5-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen, Leon Goretzka will miss the game in Portugal.
"Leon Goretzka won't be able to play. He has a cold. He could have possibly played, but we didn't want to take that risk," Nagelsmann told reporters at the pre-match press conference.
"Alphonso Davies didn't sustain a serious injury against Leverkusen, but he seems exhausted and fatigued, so we're going to give him a rest," added the Bayern coach.
