Robert Lewandowski hopes to be back for Bayern Munich’s Champions League clash with Celtic, despite suffering a minor injury on Saturday.
He told Sport Bild: “For me, Glasgow is just as important as the next Bundesliga game against Borussia Dortmund. We have to win.
“I didn’t want to take any risks on Saturday — it felt like cramp. It isn’t too bad. This season has been really hard for me. I have been playing for Bayern and Poland every three days since it started.
“No player can play 90 minutes in every game, but at the moment there is no other option. We do not have a back-up in my position at Bayern.”
Heynckes also said in his postmatch news conference: “Kingsley has slight discomfort in his knee and thigh muscles. That’s why I did not want to take any risk. I hope he can play against Celtic.”
