Jamal Musiala has tested positive for coronavirus, Bayern Munich announced in a statement on Monday.
The Germany midfielder played the full 90 minutes of Bayern’s dramatic 2-2 Klassiker draw with Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, which left them third in the Bundesliga, now four points behind surprise leaders Union Berlin.
But Musiala would now appear to be a major doubt for the midweek Champions League match against Viktoria Plzen.
The club statement added: “The FC Bayern forward is doing well and is currently isolating at home.”

Musiala is the latest in a series of Bayern players to contract COVID-19 over the past month.
Manuel Neuer and Leon Goretzka were withdrawn from the Germany squad, before Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Muller also later returned positive tests.
