Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski has been ruled out of Wednesday's Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Real Madrid with a shoulder injury.
Lewandowski, who suffered the injury during the 4-1 win over Borussia Dortmund, is replaced up front by Thomas Muller.

German paper Bild added that he would be back in action by the time of the second leg at the Bernabeu on April 18.
On Tuesday, Lewandowski, 28, did not complete the club's final training session ahead of the Madrid clash.
The Poland international trained for only 20 minutes and speaking at his prematch news conference, Bayern coach Carlo Ancelotti said: "He won't play if he's still in pain. We'll have to wait and see.
"Whether Lewandowski plays or not won't affect our strategy or our confidence for the game."
Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos had said he hoped Lewandowski would be fit to play.
"It's the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Bayern against Madrid -- I would prefer for both teams to have all their players available," Kroos told reporters.
Kroos played 130 Bundesliga games for Bayern between 2007 and 2014, and said he felt Madrid would be able to find space to play against them.
"Of course I know Bayern more than other teams, that is normal," he added. "The philosophy of Bayern depends on the coach, so it is a bit different than the past.
"Bayern are going to look to start fast, to press high up in the early stages of the game, if not over the 90 minutes as they did with [Pep] Guardiola.
"At times they'll drop deeper and that'll create spaces for us. They will try to have a lot of possession. Tactically it is something we will have to find a response to."
