In a statement, Bayern said the 31-year-old had “transgressed the guidelines issued by the club by being too far away from his home.”
Bavaria was the first German state to go into lockdown in response to the ongoing spread of the coronavirus.
Boateng said he would respect the decision but called it “sad”.
