Thomas Mueller admits Robert Lewandowski's knee injury could not have come at a worse time for Bayern Munich ahead of today's Bundesliga showdown at RB Leipzig and their Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain.

The Poland striker was sidelined for four weeks after damaging ligaments in his right knee last Sunday during a World Cup qualifier. Bayern lead second-placed Leipzig by four points in their bid for a ninth straight Bundesliga title. "Injury to Lewy is bitter news for us. It's the worst possible time," said Bayern forward Mueller.

"Well, others will have to step into the breach." The statistics show Lewandowski's importance to Bayern. He has scored 35 goals in 26 league games this term to put him within range of Gerd Mueller's record of 40 goals in a single Bundesliga season. Lewandowski will miss the Champions League first leg against PSG in Munich on Wednesday and the return game on April 13.
