Bayern defender Alaba a doubt for Pokal semi

David Alaba is a doubt for Wednesday's DFB-Pokal
semi-final with Borussia Dortmund after the Bayern
Munich defender was forced off with a left knee
strain during their 2-2 draw with Mainz on
Saturday.
Bundesliga leaders Bayern ended a bad week in
which they were knocked out of the Champions
League by Real Madrid with a disappointing
performance, the stalemate giving RB Leipzig the
chance to cut the gap at the top to six points by
beating Schalke on Sunday.
The result was compounded by Alaba coming off
after Arjen Robben had levelled the scores at 1-1
following Bojan Krkic's opener.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti said after the match: "It is
not such a big problem. We'll have to wait and see
if he will be okay for Wednesday."
Daniel Brosinski restored Mainz's lead from the
penalty spot in the 40th minute, but Thiago
Alcantara levelled 17 minutes from time.
Ancelotti accepted Bayern were not at their best,
adding: "We didn't play well. It was difficult for us.
"I'm confident that we will put in a very different
performance against Dortmund."
