Bayern Munich's Raphael Guerreiro 'set for a spell on the sidelines'

"Raphaël Guerreiro entered Bayern Munich's 5-0 win over Hamburger SV in the second half as a substitute, but had to be subbed off himself with an injury. While Vincent Kompany described it as a rib issue on Saturday, Bayern Munich released information indicating Guerreiro is suffering with an abdominal ailment: Raphaël Guerreiro suffered a slight injury to his stomach muscles in Bayern's Bundesliga game against Hamburg, as confirmed by the club's medical department. As a result, the 31-year-old Portugal international is set for a spell on the sidelines."

Guerreiro is expected to miss Wednesday's Champions League match vs. Chelsea. Bayern Munich is entering a rugged part of its schedule and the bizz surrounding the team should spike in the coming days. Let's talk about where everything stands after a great weekend in the Bundesliga and ahead of key match against Chelsea in the Champions League: It was a good weekend for Bayern Munich as the Bavarians dominated Hamburger SV. What good can we take out of that ahead of a very important showdown against Chelsea in the Champions League. Thomas Müller dropped a hat trick on the Philadelphia Union...on his birthday. Let's discuss... Should fans be concerned about all of the noise surrounding Michael Olise? With Liverpool and Manchester City (plus maybe Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona, too) all reportedly interested, things look a little dicey."
