Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm could make his first Bundesliga start since returning from an ankle injury by appearing against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday . Midfielders Franck Ribery ( ankle ) , Arjen Robben ( stomach ) and Javi Martinez ( knee ) , and defender David Alaba ( knee ) are all out , coach Pep Guardiola added on Friday . He was not yet sure about defender Holger Badstuber ( hip ) , while midfielder Thiago Alcantara could play 'maybe a few minutes ' as he recovers from long-standing knee injuries . Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm has made a full recovery from a broken ankle . Pep Guardiola will be without a number of his first-team stars for his side 's match against Dortmund . Lahm has made only two substitute appearances for Bayern since breaking his ankle in training on November 18 , and Guardiola attempted to take some pressure off his captain by warning that the whole team has to work together to compensate for missing players . 'Robben is great in one on ones , also coming in , scoring goals from the side . Ribery too . Without them , we do n't have players for one on ones , so we have to pass the ball , ' Guardiola said . 'The players have to know , we need more , more , more . We need 100 per cent . ' Alaba became the latest on Bayern 's injury list when he tore a left knee ligament while on duty for Austria . The left back is expected to miss the rest of the season . 'It 's not good news for anyone , ' said Guardiola . 'Up to now , we 've coped , and carried on . And we have to do that now . ' Arjen Robben ( centre ) and Franck Ribery ( right ) have been ruled out of Bayern 's upcoming match . David Alaba is likely to be out for the rest of the season after sustaining a knee injury . While at pains to state the injuries were not an excuse , he pointed out that they were mounting at a crucial point of the season with Bundesliga , German Cup and Champions League games coming up . Bayern has seven games in the next 22 days . 'The squad Bayern have put together is there to fight for all the titles . No excuses . If we do n't win , it 's our fault , ' Guardiola said . 'We 're happy to play in April with all the ( title ) possibilities still open . Now every game is a final . Earlier in the season if you do n't win you carry on . Now if you lose , that 's it . We do n't want any more injuries . ' When asked if this was the most difficult time he had faced in his second season at Bayern , Guardiola replied , 'Yes , definitely . ' He was nonetheless looking forward to Saturday 's visit to Dortmund , which has struggled this season and was bottom at the beginning of February . 'The quality of the side , the coach , the team , is higher than ( indicated ) by their table position . The quality is still there , ' Guardiola said . 'The game is like a final . It 's not a final , but we 're fighting to defend our title , and Dortmund are fighting for the Champions League or Europa League . ' He added : 'My experience with Dortmund and ( coach Jurgen ) Klopp is of their pressing , their attacking game . It 's good that way . It will be a super , super game . '
