Bayern Munich said Friday it regrets the sudden departure of its longtime team doctor and his staff, whose surprise move has revealed tension in the club as it faces a possible exit from the Champions League. Hans-Wilhelm Mueller-Wohlfahrt announced Thursday that he was stepping down after nearly four decades with the club, saying he had been unjustifiably blamed for the 3-1 loss to FC Porto a day earlier. In a statement, the doctor said the club's ''medical department was made primarily responsible for the defeat for inexplicable reasons.'' The 72-year-old Mueller-Wohlfahrt, who is also the German national team doctor, said the trust necessary for a successful working relationship has been damaged. Bayern coach Pep Guardiola said Friday it was the doctor's personal choice.
