Bayern Munich playmaker Franck Ribery and central defender Jerome Boateng will not be available for the Germans’ Champions League Round of 16 first leg at Liverpool, coach Niko Kovac said.
The two were not included in the squad that left for England, with Ribery staying in Munich after becoming a father, and Boateng nursing a stomach virus.
Ribery did not feature in Bayern's last match at Augsburg on Friday.
The return leg in Munich is on March 13.
