Boateng is out injured for Sunday's game at Nuremberg. GOAL

Bayern Munich will be without Jerome Boateng for the visit to Nurnberg but they could welcome back Arjen Robben after a lengthy lay-off.

Jerome Boateng will miss Bayern Munich's Bundesliga clash with Bavarian rivals Nurnberg on Sunday after suffering a knee injury in training. The 30-year-old – who played the full 90 minutes in his side's DFB-Pokal win over Werder Bremen on Wednesday – was left bruised by a collision on Saturday. While Boateng will miss the trip to Max-Morlock-Stadion, Arjen Robben has travelled with the squad for the first time since November.

The Dutchman – who will leave the club at the end of the season – has endured a torrid campaign with injuries but could play some part as Bayern look to take advantage of Borussia Dortmund's slip up on Saturday. Dortmund's 4-2 defeat to Schalke means Niko Kovac's side can open up a four-point lead over them at the Bundesliga summit.
