Bayern Munich reported today in a brief statement that its player Thomas Müller has tested positive for Covid-19 and is in home isolation.
It is the second time that Thomas Müller has been infected since the start of the pandemic after testing positive as early as February 2021. He then missed four games.

On this occasion, Müller’s positive occurs in a week in which Bayern only has one game, which will be played on Saturday as a visitor against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. The Bavarian team already played their Champions League round of 16 first leg match against Salzburg on Austrian soil last Wednesday (1-1). The return will take place on March 8.
No DFB Pokal due to elimination
Eliminated in the round of 16 of the DFB Pokal by Borussia M’gladbach (5-0), Bayern will also play only one game next week as the quarterfinals of this competition will be played on March 1 and 2.
Therefore, Julian Nagelsmann hopes to count on Müller again for the important match that will see Bundesliga leaders Bayern face third-placed Bayer Leverkusen at the Allianz Arena on March 5.
