Injury shadows Bayern's win ahead of Derby
Bayern Munich earned a hard-fought 3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday in the 23rd round of the Bundesliga.
The Bavarian giants collected all three points, but concern spread after Alphonso Davies left the pitch injured in the 50th minute, with Hiroki Ito coming on.
Update on players and standings
Bayern's sporting director Max Eberl said after the match that the injury looks serious, likely muscular, awaiting final test results.
Separately, Eberl stated that goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and teammate Konrad Laimer's involvement in the upcoming Saturday match against Borussia Dortmund in the 24th round is not ruled out.
The Bavarian giant sits atop the Bundesliga table with 60 points from 19 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat.
Punchline 1: Davies may be out, but Bayern's headlines have a longer run than a transfer saga.
Punchline 2: If injuries were a transfer window, Bayern would still be signing a comeback story.
