Duo missing: Early Bayern team news vs Real Madrid | OneFootball

Bayern Munich will take on Real Madrid in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday night at the Allianz Arena. 

Goals from Luis Diaz and Harry Kane helped the Bavarian giants take a 2-1 lead in the first half, but Madrid are capable of turning it around.

Bayern have an incredible record at Allianz Arena this season, and Vincent Kompany will look to secure another crucial home win to progress to the last four.

Kane played the first leg carrying a bit of pain, and Kompany did not use him in the 5-0 win over St Pauli in the previous Bundesliga game at the weekend.

Likewise, Serge Gnabry was also withdrawn from the squad against St Pauli due to precautionary measures.

Christian Falk has told CFBayern that the duo has returned to the training on Monday, and should be able to feature against Los Blancos, although Kompany could make some changes in the starting line-up.

Lennart Karl and Sven Ulreich remain absent, and apart from them, Kompany has a fully fit squad to choose from against Madrid on Wednesday.

Falk: Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid prediction

Christian Falk suggests that Vincent Kompany is likely to stick with the same starting XI that featured in the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.

In defence, this would see Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah return to the lineup, alongside Josip Stanisic, maintaining stability at the back.

In midfield, despite Leon Goretzka’s impressive performance against St Pauli, Aleksandar Pavlovic is expected to come back into the side to partner Joshua Kimmich.

There had been suggestions that Jamal Musiala could replace Serge Gnabry in the starting XI, but Falk believes that scenario is unlikely. Gnabry is expected to recover in time, while Musiala may not yet be physically ready to start a high-intensity Champions League fixture.
