MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - Bayern Munich will be without full back Alphonso Davies and midfielder Leon Goretzka when they face Benfica in Lisbon on Wednesday for their Champions League Group E encounter.

Goretzka is out with a cold while Davies, also nursing a cold, will be given a break to avoid fatigue due to the German champions' busy schedule in the coming weeks, coach Julian Nagelsmann said on Tuesday.
