Ribéry and Shweinsteiger fail to visit the Dragon

The only good news for Bayern Munich is the recovery of defense Jerome Boateng.

Bayern Munich arrive this afternoon to the Port where Wednesday face the dragons to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The team coached by Pep Guardiola comes without some major stars, highlighting Schweinsteiger, Ribéry and Robben.

There was still hope that the first two could recover in time, but on Monday the sporting director Mattias Sammer revealed that, in fact, both are in Germany. "Ribery and Schweinsteiger not face FC Porto. However, we have total confidence in all our players. The team breathes confidence and ambition," said the former German international.

In these three superstars also do not follow David Alaba travel, Benatia and Javi Martínez, all injured. The only good news for Guardiola is the recovery of defense Jerome Boateng, who was spared in the win against Eintracht Frankfurt due to muscle problems. Also the Peruvian striker Claudio Pizarro should follow trip to Porto.
