Bad news for FC Bayern before the top game on Saturday at RB Leipzig (6.30 p.m., in the sports ticker of the WELT).

According to the Polish Football Association, world footballer Robert Lewandowski has to take a break of a few days due to injury.

A use of the 32-year-old international striker for the top duel at Leipzig, second in the table, would be very questionable.

Lewandowski was substituted on Sunday evening in Poland's World Cup qualifier against Andorra (3-0) after a good hour.

He had previously scored two goals.

Investigations have shown a ligament injury in the right knee.

As the association announced on Monday, Lewandowski will not play against England on Wednesday and instead return to Bayern early for further treatment.

The healing of such injuries usually takes "five to ten days," said the Polish team doctors.

The new RTL expert Uli Hoeneß saw the TV pictures on Sunday evening with horror and said: "My heart just stopped."

A failure of the exceptional striker (35 goals in 25 league games) on Saturday in Leipzig would be very difficult for Bayern to cope with.

Alaba's plans after his time at Bayern

Meanwhile it became known that Bayern's defensive player David Alaba will choose from four clubs where he will move in the summer after his time in Munich.

This is what his advisor Pini Zahavi told the "kicker".

In addition to the Spanish record champions Real Madrid, who are considered favorites, there are three other teams.

The 28-year-old Austrian will leave Munich after 13 seasons.

The defender's contract on Säbener Straße will then expire, so Alaba will be transferring free of charge.

When he will decide for the new club - in addition to Real, other top European teams such as Paris, Chelsea or Barcelona are considered candidates - is not fixed.

The footballer and his advisors have no deadline, said Zahavi.
