Bayern Munich face a major blow with Jamal Musiala ruled out of their Champions League round of 16 second leg against Atalanta on Wednesday.

This adds to the ongoing injury crisis for the Bavarian giants at a pivotal point this season.

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has admitted that a sensational senior debut in the Champions League for 16-year-old goalkeeper Leonard Prescott is a possibility, though it is not the current plan ahead of the showdown against Atalanta.
