Hansi Flick
confirmed that the Martinez quarantine spell is set to end on Wednesday, and Gortzka will have to wait until Friday.

he said
.
"Javi has to take the test and then it will be determined if he still has the virus in his body. We have to wait from day to day.
"We also know with Leon that it takes a few days longer. He also has to be tested, everything will depend on that."
With or without Gortzka and Martinez, Flick conceded the Club World Cup puts more pressure on Bayern in a tight schedule.
"Qatar is very stressful, we have the flight and the games on Mondays and Thursdays. It was clear to us that we would not have time for proper training," he said.
