Source context
Heading into the Champions League clash against Atlético Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano, Bayern Munich was coming off a run of bad luck with off-pitch incidents and piling injuries. Ismaël Saibari, Serge Gnabry, and Michael Olise all sustained injuries in the 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund just days before the trip to Madrid, but Olise was the only player of the three not to suffer a long-term injury and featured against Atlético. The trio of injuries from der Klassiker added to what was already a sustained period without Jamal Musiala and intermittent periods without veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who has been dealing with recurring pain and foot problems.
