Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting will miss Bayern Munich’s Champions League quarter-final first-leg match against Manchester City on Tuesday due to a knee injury.
The German club disclosed this in a tweet posted on Monday.
It read, “Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting cannot travel to Manchester, the striker has been ruled out because of a knee joint problem”.
Choupo-Moting, 34, complained of an issue with his knee after 64 minutes of the DFB Pokal quarter-final against Freiburg last Tuesday. Due to the same injury, the top scorer missed Saturday’s 1-0 win over Freiburg.
However, he was replaced upfront by Serge Gnabry.
Choupo-Moting has 10 Bundesliga goals and three Champions League goals for the defending champions this season.
His most recent goal came in the second leg of Bayern Munich’s Champions League Round of 16 ties against Paris Saint-Germain, assisting Bayern to a 2-0 win on the night and a 3-0 aggregate win.
