Thomas Muller Tests Positive For Covid-19 & Will Miss Tonight’s CWC Final

According to Sky, Thomas Muller has tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, the German is expected to miss Bayern Munich’s club world cup final match vs Tigres as well as the next Bundesliga matches.

This is obviously a massive blow for Bayern as Muller is probably the club’s most crucial player — both in terms of play style and actual results on the pitch.

Furthermore, this diagnosis could rule Muller out of Bayern’s crucial Champions League tie vs Lazio on the 24th of February. A Bayern team without Muller could really have a tough time against the Italians so an absence here would hamper Champions League hopes.

Muller follows Javi Martinez and Leon Goretzka in testing positive for the coronavirus, in terms of Bayern Munich players. In the club world cup final, either Jamal Musiala or Serge Gnabry should be expected to take Muller’s place at the heartbeat of this Bayern side in CAM.
