Injuries and Suspensions
Mainz team news
Andreas Hance-Olsen's availability is questionable after the defender missed last weekend's 4-3 league loss at Wolfsburg. Danny da Costa picked up a knock in the same game, while Gabriel Vidovic remains sidelined with an ankle injury.
Jonathan Burkardt would spearhead the attack once again.
Bayern Munich team news
Harry Kane is unlikely to return from injury against Mainz. The England captain is kept company by Manuel Neuer, Hiroki Ito, Josip Stanisic, Joao Palhinha, Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry on the treatment table.
Besides, French forward Mathys Tel remains a doubt. So with Daniel Peretz in goal, Thomas Muller is set to lead the line.
