Boateng out of Bayern´s visit to Nurnberg

Jerome Boateng will miss Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga clash with Bavarian rivals Nurnberg on Sunday after suffering a knee injury in training.

The 30-year-old – who played the full 90 minutes in his side’s DFB-Pokal win over Werder Bremen on Wednesday – was left bruised by a collision on Saturday.

While Boateng will miss the trip to Max-Morlock-Stadion, Arjen Robben has travelled with the squad for the first time since November.

The Dutchman – who will leave the club at the end of the season – has endured a torrid campaign with injuries but could play some part as Bayern look to take advantage of Borussia Dortmund’s slip up on Saturday.

Dortmund’s 4-2 defeat to Schalke means Niko Kovac’s side can open up a four-point lead over them at the Bundesliga summit.

@ArjenRobben has made the trip to Nuremberg, however!#
