Bayern Munich has confirmed James Rodriguez will miss Wednesday's DFB-Pokal showdown with RB Leipzig with a back injury.
The Colombia international has not travelled with the rest of the squad after picking up the problem.
The news is another blow to head-coach Jupp Heynckes, whose side has been beset with injuries in recent weeks.
Thomas Muller is facing three weeks out with a thigh problem, while Franck Ribery and Manuel Neuer are long-term absentees with respective knee and foot injuries and Juan Bernat is yet to appear this season.
Kingsley Coman could start the game in Leipzig if he has recovered from a bruised knee, though, while Mats Hummels (ankle) is expected to be fit and Javi Martinez is likely to return.
