(Reuters) – Bayern Munich forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting will miss his side’s Champions League quarter-final first leg game at Manchester City on Tuesday night due to a knee injury, the Bundesliga leaders said on Monday.<\/p>\n

Choupo-Moting, who is in his third season with Bayern after stints with Paris St Germain and Stoke City, is their top scorer this season with 17 goals in all competitions.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old also missed Bayern’s 1-0 league victory over Freiburg on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting will not travel to Manchester,” Bayern said in a statement. “The forward is unavailable due to a knee problem.”<\/p>\n

Bayern also said defender Lucas Hernandez, who has not played since suffering a knee injury at last year’s World Cup in Qatar, has returned to training with the ball.<\/p>\n
