"Muller has some irritation in his hip and pelvis again. He won't be able to play tomorrow and is looking doubtful for Tuesday as well. We will likely need to rest him for a week, in order to give him a break."

Muller has struggled for consistency as the 33-year-old has managed just two Bundesliga goals this season owing to his recurring problems.

Manuel Neuer still out injured

Meanwhile, Manuel Neuer has failed to recover in time for Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga game against Mainz this weekend, SB Nation reports.

The German goalkeeper has been out with a shoulder injury and suffered a relapse just ten minutes after commencing individual training and will now be out for another few weeks.

Neuer has been sidelined for close to three weeks since picking up the shoulder in the Bundesliga home draw against arch-rivals Borussia Dortmund.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Thomas Muller has embarked on his customary taunting of Barcelona ahead of Bayern Munich's penultimate Champions League group game against the Catalan giants on Wednesday, October 26.

Muller's Bayern Munich will cross swords with Barcelona in a make-or-break tie for the La Liga side, who are in a precarious position.

Barcelona are on the verge of back-to-back Champions League group stage elimination if they fail to secure wins in their last two games while other results don't go in their favour.
