Bayern Munich team news
Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel is set to be without Dayot Upamecano and Konrad Laimer as the duo suffered knocks in the Union Berlin win.
That is apart from the already out-injured lot of Serge Gnabry, Daniel Peretz, Tarek Buchmann and Bouna Sarr, while Noussair Mazraoui (Morocco) and Kim Min-jae (South Korea) are still on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations and the Asian Cup respectively.
Joshua Kimmich can fill in for Laimer at right-back, with Alphonso Davies' return on the left side allowing Raphael Guerreiro to move into a midfield role.
Upamecano's absence would mean a full debut for Eric Dier alongside Matthijs de Ligt at centre-back.
