Thomas Muller: 'Injuries have made Bayern Munich stronger'

Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller talks up the strength in depth of his side, as they prepare to take on Porto without as many as six first-team stars.

Thomas Muller has claimed that Bayern Munich have only become stronger as a result of their recent injury crisis.

The German champions head into the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie against Porto without a number of key players.

Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery, Bastian Schweinsteiger and David Alaba will all sit out the key clash on Wednesday night, while Mehdi Benatia and Javi Martinez have also been ruled out.

However, Muller does not expect it to be a problem, telling reporters: "For the games against Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen we had two matches where we played with a decimated squad and with few options.

"In those games we came closer together as a group, as a unit, and that will obviously help us against Porto."

Current European Cup holders Bayern have won nine of their last 11 games in all competitions.
