Bayern Munich Team News

Vincent Kompany boasts an almost full-strength squad despite some notable absentees. Jamal Musiala remains sidelined with a long-term leg and ankle injury sustained during the FIFA Club World Cup, while Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito continue their recovery from respective injuries.

Manuel Neuer serves a suspension following his red card in last season’s DFB-Pokal elimination to Bayer Leverkusen, meaning Jonas Urbig will start between the sticks. Harry Kane enters the match in devastating form with 89 goals in 98 Bayern appearances, including his weekend hat-trick.

Kompany is expected to rotate his squad but emphasised: “I don’t like the word rotation. We want to go to Berlin, we want to reach the final. I’ll field a team that can win this game”.

Luis Díaz and Michael Olise, who both scored in the Leipzig rout, remain available for selection.
