Translating Chinese headline

The user posted a headline that needs translation. I think they want a brief English translation, so I should keep it concise. I'll provide a translation and might ask if they want further context. The translation is: "Kovač: Beier won’t be available tomorrow; what I said about him earlier was partly tongue-in-cheek." I should clarify "拜尔" as "Beier," since "Bayer" could refer to the club. Keeping it clear is key!
