De Ligt's fellow central defender Dayot Upamecano also had to break off training today, but is expected back tomorrow. Newly acquired center-halve Eric Dier, meanwhile, departed camp yesterday to attend to the birth of his first child. Bayern are already missing two defenders (South Korean Min-Jae Kim and Moroccan Noussair Mazraoui) to the Asian and African continental championships, respectively. FCB trainer Thomas Tuchel - as he did in a Pokal fixture earlier this season - may have to deploy Leon Goretzka in central defense.
