Bayern top Bundesliga but key strikers are injured

SOME good news for Chelsea. Bayern Munich’s two top strikers, Claudio Pizarro and Roy Makaay, were injured in their 3-0 victory over VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday.

While Pizarro will definitely miss Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final in London, the extent of an injury to Makaay’s right thigh remains unclear. He was unable to take part in yesterday’s training in Munich because of problems with his thigh muscle.

The victory over Wolfsburg kept Bayern top of the Bundesliga. Schalke 04 stay at their heels following a 4-1 home triumph over FC Nuremberg and lie second on goal difference.
