Mario Gotze will not be in Bayern Munich's squad for tomorrow's German Cup final against Borussia Dortmund and could now have played his last game for the club as a result.
The midfielder has broken a rib and as a result has been left at the team hotel while his team-mates train ahead of the big game on Saturday.
Gotze will play no part in the final against his former club and could now have played his last game for the Bavarians given the transfer speculation surrounding him.
There is doubt over his future at Bayern Munich as his contract expires next year and the German champions have shown little sign of wanting to extend it.
Gotze is wanted at Liverpool by former Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp, however the Reds are not involved in European football next season following their defeat in the Europa League final on Wednesday evening.
