Bayern Munich attacker Thomas Muller has been ruled out
of his side's clash against Schalke due to a hamstring injury.
Muller struck a brace in Bayern's 4-0 thrashing of
Hannover on Sunday before coming off just after the hour-mark.
Bayern chief medical officer Hans-Wilhelm
Muller-Wohlfahrt has ordered Muller to rest for five days before resuming light
training.
It rules him out of Saturday's encounter against
fourth-placed Schalke.
Muller could return against Wolfsburg on March 8, or head
coach Pep Guardiola may opt for caution and leave him out until the UEFA
Champions League clash against Arsenal three days later.
The 24-year-old was on the scoresheet in Bayern's 2-0 win
at Arsenal in the first leg of their round-of-16 tie.
In good news for the reigning Bundesliga and European
champions, Franck Ribery and Xherdan Shaqiri are close to returning.
Ribery, who underwent surgery on a buttock problem
earlier in February, completed a double workout, including sprints.
Shaqiri is set to resume normal training later this week,
nine days after tearing a muscle against Freiburg.
