Oliver Kahn faces fine for disco visit

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Oliver Kahn got away with playing golf while nursing a thigh injury but might have pushed it too far by also spending the night in a discotheque.

"Playing golf and going to a disco are two different things," coach Ottmar Hitzfeld told reporters on Monday.

"There will be a fine for that. If you get injured, you must work on getting fit, and a visit to a disco is not necessary in that respect."

Hitzfeld had reacted calmly to a report that his skipper, who will miss Tuesday's Champions League Group G match at Deportivo Coruna because of the injury, had been seen playing golf on Saturday.

But the coach's mood changed after it emerged that the Germany captain had also been spotted in a disco the night before.

Kahn tore a right thigh muscle in last week's 2-1 defeat at AC Milan which left the four-times European champions at risk of not surviving the opening stage of the Champions League.

Stefan Wessels stepped in for Kahn in Saturday's 3-3 home draw with Hanover 96 in the Bundesliga and is expected to replace him again against Deportivo.
