Impact Muller is having issues with irritation in his hip and though he's not seriously hurt managing the situation becomes more important ahead of the World Cup. Fortunately Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has scored four goals and logged two assists since joining the starting lineup four games ago, making the absence of Thomas Muller less painful for their team.

Impact Muller evidently needs some rest to recover from discomfort in a couple of places. This will also put him in doubt for Tuesday's match against Inter Milan and maybe the following Saturday's trip to Hertha Berlin. During the length of Muller's absence, expect Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (three goals, one assist in three starts) to remain in the lineup as a lone forward.

Traveling with team Muller (illness) made the squad list for Wednesday's match at Barcelona.
Impact Muller returns after missing four of the last five matches with muscular issues and more recently a stomach bug. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting scored twice and logged one assist in two starts as a replacement but if Muller is fit from kickoff, he should have little issue taking back his place in the lineup.

Out due to stomach bug Muller will miss Saturday's trip to Hoffenheim due to a "stomach bug", according to manager Julian Nagelsmann.
Impact Muller has played just once in the last five matches excluding Wednesday's DFB Pokal win over Augsburg, scoring once in a brief start against Viktoria Plzen. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting was the most recent pick to replace Muller at striker and did well with one goal and one assist during Sunday's 5-0 victory. Either he or Serge Gnabry could start at the top of the attack while Muller is out.

Appears off bench Muller came off the bench and provided one assist during Wednesday's 5-2 DFB Pokal win over Augsburg.
Impact Muller returned from a muscle injury to provide an assist off the bench. The attacking midfielder should be set for a return to the starting XI during Saturday's trip to Hoffenheim, where he will likely replace Eric Choupo-Moting.

Participates in training Muller (strain) participated in Monday's training session ahead of Saturday's trip to Hoffenheim.
Impact Though there wasn't much note of his presence, Muller looked in good shape in pictures posted by the club. As he returns from a case of COVID-19 and a minor muscular strain, Muller might be plunged straight back into the lineup due to the hamstring injury for Leroy Sane.

Out against Freiburg Muller (strain) is not in Bayern's match day squad for Sunday's clash against SC Freiburg.
Impact Muller picked up a muscular injury in Wednesday's Champions League win over Viktoria Plzen and he is not fit enough to be involved in Sunday's Bundesliga match. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is taking over his place in the XI versus Freiburg.
OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Partial participant in training Muller (strain) was able to do a few laps in Friday's training session, according to his club ahead of Sunday's match against Freiburg.
Impact Muller will hope to play in a major league match this weekend against a rare challenge in Freiburg but there's still more work to do before that happens. He's scored two goals and logged one assist in his last two games and with Serge Gnabry also injured, Mathys Tel could make a rare start in the absence of both.

Comes off immediately Muller played 28 minutes and scored once before coming off during Wednesday's clash with Plzen.
Impact Muller was dealing with an illness earlier in the week and went straight down the tunnel before coming off. It's uncertain if that's related to the illness or a new injury he has picked up. Mathys Tel replaced the attacking midfielder.

Starting Wednesday Muller (illness) will feature in the starting XI versus Viktoria Plzen on Wednesday.
Impact Muller returns to the pitch having missed the club's previous two contests due to his illness. Following the departure of Robert Lewandowski this offseason, the veteran Muller has been pressed into more of a forward role this season and should continue to serve as the focal point of the Bayern Munich attack.

Makes squad list Muller (illness) made the squad list for Wednesday's match against Viktoria Plzen.
Impact Muller will hope to return after missing two matches due to a positive COVID-19 test. He's scored just twice in 10 matches and Serge Gnabry could still start at striker if Muller isn't fit enough to play from kickoff.

Remains out against Dortmund Muller will miss Saturday's match against Borussia Dortmund despite testing negative for COVID-19 as he still has cold-like symptoms, according to manager Julian Nagelsmann.
Impact Muller couldn't get back in time with a narrow window following his positive test after Saturday's win over Bayer Leverkusen. Most recently, Serge Gnabry started as the striker but Sadio Mane may also start in that spot depending on the preferences of the manager without Muller available until hopefully Tuesday's match against Viktoria Plzen.

Hopes to return by weekend Muller is dealing with an asymptomatic case of COVID-19 and could be back by Saturday's match against Borussia Dortmund if he tests negative Friday, according to manager Julian Nag...
Impact Muller just scored and assisted in Friday's win over Bayer Leverkusen before testing positive the next day. As fortunately both he and Kimmich are dealing with minor cases, returning by Der Klassiker against Dortmund is a possibility. In the interim, Sadio Mane and Jamal Musiala will be key to replacing Muller's production for at least Tuesday's match against Viktoria Plzen.

Tests positive for COVID-19 Muller has tested positive for COVID-19, his club announced Saturday.
Impact Muller was fortunate to come away positive after contributing to two goals during Friday's 4-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen. He'll now surely miss Tuesday's UCL match against Viktoria Plzen and likely Der Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday as well, if he can get a negative test inside a week from the first one. In his absence, Sadio Mane could play as a center-forward and Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting would be the most natural selection to replace Muller.

Impact Muller scored once and added an assist as he bounces back from a goal contribution drought. This Munich side looked far better than they did before the international break and showed signs of their absolute lethality throughout the match.

Creates two chances in win Muller created two chances and put two shots off target during Tuesday's 2-0 win over Barcelona.
Impact Muller has scored just once this season despite starting as a forward on four occasions. Given that he's never really been suited for that role his lack of production isn't all that surprising even if his teammates score in bunches. Instead, look to Leroy Sane and others for goals in a talented lineup.

Impact Muller scored his first goal of the campaign to move to three goal contributions in the first two matches. The attacking midfielder has been consistently excellent for Munich and is showing no signs of slowing down. Muller alongside Jamal Musiala appear to be set to be more than enough to fill in for the departed Robert Lewansowski.

Pair of assists in win Muller assisted twice to go with three shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and three chances created in Friday's 6-1 victory versus Eintracht Frankfurt.
Impact Muller picked up right where he left off with or without Robert Lewandowski. The attacking midfielder tacked on a pair of assists and seemed to link up perfectly with the new strike duo ahead of him of Serge Gnabry and Sadio Mane. One of the most valuable attackers in the world Muller is looking to continue his run of dominance in the Bundesliga coming off of an eight-goal, 18-assist campaign in 2021/22.
