Soccer-Injured Kahn out as Bayern celebrations delayed

BERLIN, April 26 (Reuters) - Bayern Munich will be without goalkeeper Oliver Kahn and striker Miroslav Klose for Sunday's home game with VfB Stuttgart.

Captain Kahn suffered a pinched nerve in his back in Thursday's 1-1 UEFA Cup semi-final first leg draw against Zenit St Petersburg and said he would only play on Sunday if leaders Bayern had a chance to clinch the Bundesliga title.

Werder Bremen's 3-3 draw at Karlsruhe on Saturday and Schalke 04's 1-0 win at Hamburg SV means second-placed Werder and Schalke, in third, retain faint hopes of snatching the championship.

Klose broke his nose in Thursday's match.

"I'm certain we're going to win the championship," Bayern coach Ottmar Hitzfeld told reporters.

"When that happens doesn't matter to me. We want to give the spectators a good show on Sunday."

Bayern have 63 points with five matches left. Bremen and Schalke have 54 with four games to play.
