Personnel disaster: Bayern leader suffers injury in Der Klassiker
Bayern Munich endured a genuine medical nightmare in Der Klassiker. Alongside dropping points in a fiercely contested match, the team faced fresh personnel problems just days before their Champions League clash with Atlético Madrid.
Ismaël Saibari and Serge Gnabry were forced to leave the game early with injuries in the first half. The situation worsened when Michael Olise also went off injured. The French winger's involvement in the upcoming European fixture is now in doubt.
At the same time, Bayern's treatment room was already packed. Luis Díaz, Manuel Neuer and Jamal Musiala had previously been ruled out with fitness issues. As a result, the list of Bayern players who could potentially miss out has grown to six.
The match against Borussia Dortmund ended 2-2. Harry Kane missed a penalty, while Dortmund salvaged a draw thanks to Fabiо Silva's 89th-minute goal.
On Tuesday, November 3, Bayern will travel to face Atlético at the Metropolitano Stadium. The coaching staff's main task now is to assess the injured players' condition and determine who can bolster the squad in Madrid.
