Team News

Bayern Munich News

Lucas Hernandez is unlikely to be risked against Barcelona, knowing that a booking here would rule them out of their first knock-out match in 2022.

Bayern Munich may be without Michael Cuisance, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, and Joshua Kimmich for the remainder of COVID-19.

Marcel Sabitzer, Bouna Sarr, and Josip Stanisic will all miss Wednesday's game due to injury.

Tanguy Nianzou returned from a shoulder injury to play against Borussia Dortmund at the weekend and is expected to start this match. Julian Nagelsmann is anticipated to make changes in general, with first place assured.

Barcelona News

After coming off the bench in the weekend defeat to Real Betis, Frenkie de Jong and Gerard Pique are set to return to the starting XI.

Ousmane Demebele, a former Borussia Dortmund winger, might possibly be brought in to replace Philippe Coutinho on the wing.

Abdessamad Ezzalzouli, a teen winger who broke into the first squad under Xavi, appears set for another start.
