The 29-year-old faces a nervous wait to
discover whether or not he can participate in
Friday's game after spraining his ankle on
Tuesday
Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger could miss Friday's Uefa Super Cup clash with Chelsea through injury. The Germany international limped off the field
injured during the Bavarians' 1-1 draw with
Freiburg on Tuesday, prompting Bayern boss
Pep Guardiola to confirm the 29-year-old faces
a battle to be fit to face the Blues.
The 42-year-old told reporters: "He [Schweinsteiger] sprained his ankle. There will
be a medical check tomorrow. I hope he will
play on Friday, but we do not know that yet."
Tuesday's result brought Bayern's 100% start
to the Bundesliga season to an end, but
Guardiola insisted he was happy with the performances of his side after the game.
He added: "We played well, very well. But if
you’re only 1-0 up in the Bundesliga, things like
this can always happen. We never stopped
attacking and we had chances. But I’m very,
very proud of my players.” The former Barcelona boss opted to rest a
number of key players for the visit to the Mage
Solar Stadion ahead of Friday's game, with
Arjen Robben, Philipp Lahm, Franck Ribery and
Mario Mandzukic all named on the bench.
