Bayern Munich XI vs PSG: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for Champions League | OneFootball

Former Arsenal star misses out for huge European last-four tie

Bayern Munich will be missing three key figures when they travel to Paris Saint-Germain for the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.

Vincent Kompany’s side will be without Serge Gnabry, who has been ruled out for the rest of the season and the upcoming World Cup with a thigh problem, while Tom Bischof and Lennart Karl are close to comebacks from their respective calf and thigh issues, but this game will come too soon for the pair.

Gnabry has been in hot form for the Bundesliga side in recent weeks, deployed in a free-roaming No10 position behind lone ranger Harry Kane.

The German had really began to get into his groove before disaster struck before their recent game against Stuttgart, with Gnabry tearing his adductor muscle.

Otherwise, Kompany can go full strength in Paris.

In goal, Manuel Neuer will be shielded by a centre-back pairing of Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah, while Josip Stanisic and Konrad Laimer are set to continue as the two full-backs, despite Alphonso Davies’ return to full fitness.

Davies played in the remarkable 4-3 comeback victory over Mainz at the weekend, but is likely to be sat on the bench in Europe while Stanisic comes back into the side.

In midfield, Aleksandar Pavlovic, who scored against Real Madrid in the last round, will partner Joshua Kimmich with Jamal Musiala as the No10, and Luis Diaz and Michael Olise will flank Kane in the final third.

Predicted Bayern Munich XI (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Laimer, Tah, Upamecano, Stanisic; Kimmich, Pavlovic; Olise, Musiala, Diaz; Kane
