Bayern Munich will be missing Jerome Boateng against Liverpool tonight after the defender was struck down by gastroenteritis.
Boss Niko Kovac has confirmed the player has not travelled to Merseyside with the rest of the squad.

Winger Franck Ribery is another player who did not come across from Germany with his team-mates on Monday, following the birth of his daughter during the night, but he was due to arrive ahead of the match.
Kovac said: “Jerome Boateng misses out with stomach flu, but Franck Ribery will travel later today after becoming a father late last night.”
It appears Kingsley Coman, who scored twice before coming off with an injury in Friday’s 3-2 win at Augsburg, will be available for the Anfield showdown.
Meanwhile, Leon Goretzka trained individually on Monday having picked up a slight ankle problem and is touch and go, while Thomas Muller is suspended.
