European champions Bayern Munich dropped their first points of the Bundesliga season in a 1-1 draw at Freiburg on Tuesday ahead of their Super Cup clash against Chelsea. Bayern were on course to maintain their perfect start to the season after three league wins until they leaked a late equaliser and also suffered an injury blow when midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger came off with an ankle problem. He is an injury concern for Friday’s Super Cup clash against Europa League winners Chelsea in Prague as well as Germany’s upcoming World Cup qualifying double-header against Austria and Faroe Islands. “He will be examined in Munich, we hope that he will be able to play against Chelsea,” said Bayern’s media director Markus Hoerwick. Bayern still moved a point clear at the top of the table, although Mainz, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen can all leapfrog them should they win their game in hand this weekend. Bayern coach Pep Guardiola made several changes to his line-up from the one that beat Nuremberg 2-0 with both Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery rested.
