Despite their success, Vincent Kompany’s title-winning squad will have to deal with a few injury setbacks ahead of their official celebrations.

Winger Serge Gnabry has been ruled out after picking up a torn adductor muscle in his right thigh. Left-back Alphonso Davies is also unavailable due to a hamstring injury, while goalkeeper Sven Ulreich continues to be sidelined with an ongoing groin issue.

There are also some expected changes to the lineup. Kompany has confirmed that Leon Goretzka will start in midfield, with this match likely to be his final appearance for the club before departing in the summer.

Raphael Guerreiro is also in line to come into the starting XI, and Manuel Neuer will take his place in goal ahead of former K9ln shot-stopper Jonas Urbig.
