Bayern Munich fans were left with a scare during their DFB-Pokal victory over Mainz 05, as center-back Eric Dier pulled up lame with a hamstring injury in the second half.

While initial concerns arose due to the club’s already thin center-back depth, with Dayot Upamecano injured and Tarek Buchmann recovering from a long-term injury, reports suggest Dier’s injury may not be serious. According to Bild journalist Michel Schröer, Dier appeared to be in good spirits after the match, and his injury may be temporary.

However, despite the positive outlook, Dier’s availability for the upcoming Bundesliga match against Union Berlin this weekend remains uncertain. Upamecano, though expected to feature, is also not guaranteed to play.

If both center-backs are unavailable, Bayern may be forced to deploy midfielder Leon Goretzka in the backline.

Fans are advised to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for the latest updates on both Dier and Upamecano’s fitness ahead of the crucial match against Union Berlin.
