Bayern Munich supporters have been left to suffer further heartache following Tuesday night's penalty nightmare, with the club's social media account announcing a huge double-injury blow ahead of the Champions League semi-final showdown with Barcelona 7th May.
Following a 1-1 draw, Bayern crashed out of Germany's domestic cup competition on spot-kicks in an uncharacteristically German shoot-out in which only 2 of 8 penalties were converted, granting departing boss Jurgen Klopp a final opportunity to end his time at Borussia Dortmund in style.
This morning (Wednesday) things have got even worse for Bayern with the news that goalscorer Robbert Lewandowski and star man Arjen Robben will both miss the rest of the season after the dynamic duo suffered severe injuries.
"Arjen Robben has a tear in his left calf muscle. His season is over," the club's official Twitter account revealed.
"Robert Lewandowski has broken his upper jaw and his nose. He also has a concussion. It doesn't get much worse than that,"
The news leaves Pep Guardiola's deadly attack severely hindered ahead of Bayern's trip to Camp Nou next Wednesday, with the return leg to be played at the Allianz Arena 6 days later.
This fresh injury piles more misery on Dutchman Robben, who as recently as 2 weeks ago revealed the horrific extent of his injury nightmare after stating he was left to feel 'physically disabled.'
"I've had a lot of injuries in my career, but this is something new - I've never had something like this before. With this kind of an injury, you're physically disabled.
"In everyday life, there's so much you do that requires a working abdominal muscle. You're not able to get up, sit down or go going to toilet - you're always in pain."

Robben's injury is cruelly ironic, as the 31-year-old was making his comeback from a previous spell on the sidelines which had kept him out of action since March 22nd.
While Tuesday's defeat ended hopes of a historic treble, Bayern can at least celebrate a third-successive Bundesliga title. However, they now face a stern test at they prepare to take on Barcelona in what promises to be a thrilling clash for a place in Berlin.
