Min-jae Kim (Achilles tendon problems), Jamal Musiala (Torn muscle bundle), Tarek Buchmann (Fitness), Hiroki Ito (Metatarsal fracture), Dayot Upamecano (Cartilage damage) and Alphonso Davies (Cruciate ligament tear) are not able to play.

We reckon that Bayern appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, settling for Manuel Neuer, Konrad Laimer, Eric Dier, Leon Goretzka, Raphael Guerreiro, Joshua Kimmich, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Michael Olise, Thomas Müller, Kingsley Coman and Harry Kane.
