Bayern Munich top-scorer Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting WILL NOT TRAVEL with squad to face Manchester City for Champions League quarter-final as Thomas Tuchel faces striker crisis in Bavaria

Bayern Munich have confirmed that Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting will not travel with the rest of the squad as they prepare to face Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday evening.

The 34-year-old has been ruled out of the tie having come off complaining of an issue with his knee after 64 minutes of the DFB Pokal quarter-final against Freiburg last Tuesday.

Choupo-Moting was then left out of the squad that played Freiburg again in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Thomas Tuchel has since confirmed that the former Stoke City striker will again be left home for the first leg of the Champions League tie against Pep Guardiola's side.
