Michael Olise trains and joins Bayern for Atletico game but Díaz stays on long injury list

MUNICH (AP) - Michael Olise is traveling with the Bayern Munich squad for Tuesday's game against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League after injury concerns but Luis Díaz and Jamal Musiala are among several players who remain out.

Ballon d'Or nominee Olise asked to be substituted after picking up a knock late in Bayern's 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, which also saw more severe injuries to midfielder Ismael Saibari and forward Serge Gnabry.

Olise trained Monday with a bandage on his right knee. He could potentially aggravate the issue, Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl said.

"We´re taking it day by day," Eberl said of Olise. "It´s good that he´s traveling with us, because he´s an outstanding player who´s always a great asset. However, we´ll avoid the risk of it turning into a long-term injury."

Olise is on Bayern's squad list for the game and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer also travels after missing four games with a foot injury.

Díaz and Musiala both trained individually as they recover from muscle injuries but neither made the squad. Saibari is out after ankle surgery and Gnabry misses out with a hamstring tear.

Assistant coach Aaron Danks remains in charge as Bayern is without head coach Vincent Kompany. He was released from hospital last week following treatment for an infection after collapsing at training.

Bayern has five points from three Champions League games after back-to-back draws and is seeking a first win since September.
