BERLIN (AFP) - Bayern Munich s top-scorer Robert Lewandowski returned to training on Monday after a knee injury, but the club him ruled out of their Champions League quarter-final at Paris Saint-Germain.

Bayern said Lewandowski "is not available" for Tuesday s second-leg in Paris. The holders need to overturn a 3-2 defeat after PSG striker Kylian Mbappe scored twice in Munich during last week s first leg.

Lewandowski, 32, voted FIFA s best male player of 2020, injured ligaments in his right knee a fortnight ago while on international duty with Poland.
