Bayern
Munich centre-back Jerome Boateng has been ruled out of Tuesday's match against
Liverpool in the Champions League last 16 with "stomach flu".
Winger Franck Ribery was also
absent as the German champions boarded their flight to the UK on Monday morning
after becoming a father on Sunday night, but he will join the squad ahead of
Tuesday's game.
Bayern head coach Niko Kovac
revealed the team news on Monday, saying: "Jerome Boateng misses out with
stomach flu, but Franck Ribery will travel later today after becoming a father
late last night."
Kingsley
Coman was declared fit for Tuesday's trip to Anfield by Bayern on Saturday
after suffering a knock in the closing stages of Friday's 3-2 away win over
Augsburg in the Bundesliga.
Arjen Robben, who has not
featured for Bayern since late November due to a thigh injury, is not included
in the 21-man squad.
Kovac will hold a news conference
in Liverpool on Monday afternoon to preview Tuesday's game - the first between
these two teams since 1981 - this afternoon after 4pm.
