Guardiola hopeful over Badstuber injury

The centre-back was substituted late in the first half during the champions' 2-0 victory at the Allianz Arena to raise concerns that he had suffered another knee injury.

Badstuber had been sidelined since 2012 due to serious knee injuries before making his long-awaited return in July.

But Bayern revealed that the 25-year-old suffered a thigh problem on Saturday and coach Guardiola is hopeful that his latest injury is not serious. 

"We will get the diagnosis tomorrow [Sunday]. But I don't think it's that serious," said the former Barcelona coach.
