But the all-clear was soon given. FC Bayern Munich need not be overly concerned about Aleksandar Pavlovic and Tom Bischof, who were substituted after picking up knocks during Wednesday evening’s 4-1 win over Atalanta Bergamo. "I didn’t see any dramatic scenes in the dressing room with doctors rushing about frantically. Without going into detail, I would assume it was a precautionary measure." Pavlovic had come off in the 55th minute of the second leg and had hinted at hip problems to coach Vincent Kompany. The midfielder himself explained after the match that it was nothing serious: "I just had a bit of pain in my hip flexors, but I don’t think it’s anything dramatic." FC Bayern: All-clear given for Tom Bischof too Meanwhile, Bischof was sitting on the pitch before being substituted in the 72nd minute and received brief treatment. However, the 20-year-old, who had started as a left-back, does not appear to have suffered a serious injury either. It remains to be seen whether Kompany will nevertheless opt to rest Pavlovic and Bischof as a precaution for Saturday’s upcoming Bundesliga match against Union Berlin. The former, in particular, must of course be fit for the quarter-final clash against Real Madrid in April. FC Bayern Munich's Upcoming Matches Saturday, 21 March | 3.30 pm
