UEFA Cup favourites Bayern hit by injuries ahead of Belenenses clash</p> PARIS (AFP) - German giants Bayern Munich will be without captain and keeper Oliver Kahn and key striker Miroslav Klose for the crucial UEFA Cup clash against Portugal's Belenenses on Thursday. "They are two important players for Bayern, both on and off the field," said French international Franck Ribery on the absence of Kahn and the Bundesliga's current leading scorer. Dutch international midfielder Mark van Bommel and German international midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger are also in doubt for the trip to Lisbon's Estadio do Restelo, Bayern coach Ottmar Hitzfeld said Tuesday on the club website. Kahn, who is set to retire from the Bundesliga at the end of the season, missed Saturday's 1-0 league win over Bayer Leverkusen with a painful elbow injury and on Tuesday travelled to the United States for specialist surgery. Klose aggravated a calf injury and may need "at least three weeks" to recover, Hitzfeld said. Schweinsteiger had to abandon Tuesday's team training session with a calf problem while van Bommel is still struggling with an injury to his little toe and also had to sit out training. "Probably he (van Bommel) will be able to resume training tomorrow (Wednesday)," Hitzfeld said. "If not, Andi Ottl will play." Klose's injury will give either Jan Schlaudraff or Lukas Podolski a rare chance to break into the first-team, while 23-year-old Michael Rensing will continue to deputise for Kahn. Young professional Toni Kroos and amateur Sandro Wagner will also be flying to Portugal with the squad. "I would have no qualms about playing him from the start," Hitzfeld said of Kroos, who made his Bundesliga debut just a week ago. Blackburn will also be without captain Ryan Nelsen who was sidelined for a month after suffering a hamstring injury in their first leg 2-0 loss to Larissa at the Panthessaliko Stadium in Volos. They will have to produce something special at home to avoid being eliminated from the UEFA competition by the Greek Cup winners. Meanwhile Everton coach David Moyes believes his side will continue their resurgence with a win over Metallist when they travel to Ukraine for their second leg match. Moyes believes his team has turned the corner after Sunday's 2-0 home win over Middlesbrough, their second successive victory following a series of disappointing displays. Everton need a win over Metalist when they travel to the Ukraine to get to the group stages after drawing 1-1 in the first round, first leg at Goodison Park. "That's two wins and two clean sheets this week, hopefully we'll get the same in the UEFA Cup on Thursday," Moyes said after the Sunday win. "Sometimes you start to smell change and I thought there was that smell today." Tottenham will be looking to continue their dominance over Anorthosis when they travel to Cyprus after their 6-1 thrashing of the Cypriots in the first leg. The club is on a high following their weekend 4-4 draw with Aston Villa when they came back from being 4-1 down with only 30 minutes left to play. Bolton will face a more difficult assignment when they travel to Macedonia to take on Rabotnicki after their 1-1 draw at home in the first leg. In other matches Fiorentina are at home to Dutch side Groningen after their 1-1 draw in the first leg while Aberdeen travel to the Ukraine to take on Dnipro after being held to a 0-0 draw at home in the first round.</p>
