According to Madrid-based newspaper MARCA, Arbeloa does not yet consider Dani Carvajal to be fully fit.
Unless there is a late change of heart, the Spanish coach is expected to start Trent Alexander-Arnold against the Bavarians.
Marca stresses that the choice hinges above all on current fitness levels, not on a clear gap in form; recent outings show the pair to be evenly matched, as reflected in their respective minutes on the pitch.
