The 26-year-old France international, heavily linked with a move away from Bavaria this summer, sat out training yesterday and is not expected to resume until early next week.

Team-mate Philipp Lahm told L'Equipe: "I cannot say yet whether he will be with us this season.

"But, as long as he is, he must integrate into the squad because the team is the most important thing. He has given his all in recent days and left a good impression."

Tonight's match, Bayern's first under new coach Louis van Gaal, could see Germany striker Mario Gomez make his first appearance in the club's colours on his 24th birthday.
