The injury curse continues to plague Bayern Munich ahead of the crucial final stretch of the season. The Bavarian club’s thrilling 4-3 victory over Mainz was short-lived, as one of their key players’ season is over.
The German club is vying for a historic treble, having already secured the Bundesliga title, and now faces a tough challenge in the Champions League semi-finals against Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG suffered several injuries during their match against Angers on Saturday, raising questions about the availability of players for both teams in the first leg.
Guerreiro out for Bayern Munich vs. Paris Saint-Germain clash
Bayern Munich confirmed in an official statement that Guerreiro suffered a minor muscle tear in his left hamstring and will be sidelined for at least two weeks.
This means the Portuguese international will miss both legs against Paris Saint-Germain, further adding to Vincent Kompany’s injury woes.
Besides Guerrero, Lennart Karl and Tom Bischoff will also miss the match due to injury, while Serge Gnabry’s season is already over, and he will also miss the 2026 World Cup.

Paris Saint-Germain has no absences
While Bayern Munich is plagued by injuries, Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique has three key players back and will field a full-strength squad at the Parc des Princes.
Doubts surrounded midfielder Vitinha after he was injured in the first half of the loss to Olympique Lyonnais, while Achraf Hakimi appeared fatigued in the Angers match. Lucas Hernandez and Fabian Ruiz also suffered from the same issue, and Nuno Mendes was injured in a heavy tackle.
According to Le Parisien, all the first-team players participated in light training for Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday, and no serious injuries were reported. This dispelled doubts about the fitness of Hakimi and Mendes, much to Luis Enrique’s relief.
Only young Quentin Nganto is expected to miss the match, while Paris Saint-Germain appears to have virtually no absences for this crucial encounter.
