Oliver Kahn Rumours and Transfers
03 10 2007
Forward Lukas Podolski has joined Oliver Kahn and Miroslav Klose on the injury list ahead of FC Bayern Munchen's decider against CF Os Belenenses.
The German international has not travelled to Lisbon for the UEFA Cup first round second leg tie as he is suffering from flu and a fever.
"Playing him is not an option", said coach Ottmar Hitzfeld before Bayern's plane left for the Portuguese capital.
Podolski was expected to start in Klose's absence as Bayern look to defend a 1-0 lead from the first leg.
Bastian Schweinsteiger (calf) and Mark van Bommel (toe) remain doubtful for the match.

Oliver Kahn is to undergo surgery on his elbow injury and is facing up to five weeks on the sidelines.
The veteran Bayern Munich goalkeeper aggravated an existing problem during the warm-up for Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Bayer Leverkusen.
Kahn was replaced by Michael Rensing for the BayArena meeting and he kept a clean sheet as the visitors won 1-0 to open up a four-point lead over Schalke at the top of the table.
Coach Ottmar Hitzfeld confirmed that the former Germany No.1 requires an operation, but as yet a date is still to be set for the procedure.
Bayern could also be without Miroslav Klose for Thursday's Uefa Cup first round second leg with Portuguese outfit Belenenses due to a knee complaint.
