Hansi Flick: "Javi Martinez and Leon Goretzka both tested positive for covid-19 and are not available to us for the time being. They are in quarantine"
Flick: "Alexander Nübel suffered a ligament injury in his ankle yesterday and will be out for two to four weeks."
Flick: "Things are looking good for Tolisso, we are planning to have him back with the team on Sunday. Nianzou took the next step in training, but we have to be careful, it was his second serious muscle injury"
Zirkzee leaving?
Flick: "Joshua was in training today and I think that he will also be in training with us after the transfer period. There is nothing to announce"
Flick on Musiala's international future: "I always think it's good when talents play football for Germany, but it's up to the player to decide. He and his family have to do that and make up their mind. If he has a question, he's welcome to ask"
Flick on why Lucas doesn't start at CB: "We kept two clean sheets in the last two games with Alaba & Boateng at CB. Lucas is good for us with his dynamism on the left. He had to sit out yesterday and the day before because he had a wisdom tooth pulled. He's back and available"
Flick on right-back Süle: "He did well. With David Alaba and Jérôme Boateng, we have a certain stability in central defense. Against Schalke we wanted to have three players building up the play from the back. Niklas did well."
Flick on Müller: "Thomas had a phase where he didn't score, now he has scored again. He has good numbers and a lot of assists. He's important because he also pushes the team. It is important for us that he is on the pitch and that he takes the team with him the way he does"
Flick on who will play midfield tomorrow: "We have some players missing but there are some options. Let's wait and see until tomorrow to not make things too easy for our opponents"
Flick on Kimmich: "He came out of the injury stronger than before. You get the impression that he has also gained muscle in his legs. He can play all kind of passes that belong to a repertoire of a number six. He wants to learn, is committed and wants to move forward."

Herbert Hainer in BamS interview: "It was an incredibly intense year. In terms of football, we were as successful as never before and with many great moments, but also many challenges due to the pandemic. Overall, I think we've been doing well for the past 12 months"
You spoke about a loss in income of €100m last year. Will things get even worse?
Hainer: "The number you mentioned is correct and up to date. The €100m loss is primarily due to the lack of fans income. We will certainly not generate a profit in the current financial year"
Things are even worse for other top clubs. Are Bayern winners of this crisis?
Hainer: "We're leaders in economics even internationally. We have no debts, we own our stadium 100% and the campus is paid off. We are well positioned and will be stable going out of this crisis"
Hasan Salihamidžić (before the game) on his relationship with Flick: "It's perfectly normal. The topic is perceived by you differently than by us. The fact that Lucas Hernández is back on the bench today is also a decision of the coach."
Salihamidžić on Tolisso: "What Coco did is of course annoying. That will have consequences. We talked to him, he knows he made a mistake. He'll have a fine that he will feel"
Salihamidžić: "Upamecano? We're of course thinking about the player. We met with his agents and had very good and professional talks. Now we have to see what happens"
Hansi Flick: "Both teams wanted to play football today, Manu made some good saves. We have now won four games in a row, got twelve points and played a good game today, even if not everything was great. I am satisfied" #FCBTSG
Flick: "The team got back on track after two defeats in a row. That's what distinguishes a great team."
Flick on Tolisso's tattoo: "Hasan said everything about that. This is an absolute no go for us. He is very sorry, it happened, it cannot be undone. I talked to him"
Bayern announce that Corentin Tolisso has been fined after breaching the club's Covid guidelines. In addition, the player will not be part of the training squad for this weekend.
Rummenigge: "We are very grateful that the Bundesliga games can currently take place despite the Corona situation. Players, coaches and staff members have to adhere to the rules of the DFL's hygiene concept in an exemplary manner."
KHR: "Corentin Tolisso has violated these guidelines, although our sporting management continuously and clearly communicated these guidelines internally. This violation is very annoying and cannot be tolerated."
Lucas Hernández being benched against Schalke despite his strong performance against Augsburg raised question marks within the club's leadership. Hernández remains in competition with Alphonso Davies for the left-back spot with David Alaba undisputed at CB [@Plettigoal, @SPORT1]
Davies, who is experiencing a drop in form this season, continues to enjoy the confidence of Flick. The latter wants to give Davies confidence and game time in order to get his form back, because in his top form, the Canadian represents the game Flick wants to see [@Plettigoal]
Hernández, whose mentality is hugely valued by Flick, played well vs Augsburg, but is too inconsistent in his performances & often reveals weaknesses in the build-up game. However, Lucas could get another chance v Hoffenheim after Davies failed to impress vs Schalke [@Plettigoal]
