Bayern Munich’s draw at Borussia Dortmund plays no role ahead of Cup game, says Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso

The Hindu  

Bayern Munich’s 1-1 draw at Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on Saturday plays no role in preparations of holder Bayer Leverkusen for its German Cup last 16 clash against the Bavarians on Tuesday, coach Xabi Alonso said. Leverkusen, who won the league and Cup double without defeat last season, is third in the Bundesliga standings, seven points behind Bayern. Leverkusen will still be without key striker Victor Boniface just as Bayern is missing top scorer Harry Kane. But Alonso said he was happy to have forward Patrik Schick firing on all cylinders, with the Czech having netted the winner against Union Berlin on Saturday after his hat-trick over Heidenheim a week earlier.
