UCL: Bayern suffer huge blow, top star out of Atletico clash
Bayern Munich begin the defence of their Champions League crown at home to Atletico Madrid tonight and they’ll be without Serge Gnabry after the winger tested positive for COVID-19.
The news comes as a blow for Hansi Flick, who may have looked to use Gnabry to break Atleti’s solid back line in the match at the Allianz Arena.
