Bayern Munich vs Atalanta: Expected Lineup and Team Updates

Bayern Munich faces Atalanta in the Champions League Round of 16 second leg on Wednesday, having a significant lead from the first leg.

Bayern Munich team news

The team is facing serious goalkeeping issues. Captain Manuel Neuer remains out due to injury.

Jonas Urbig, who started in the first leg but left with a concussion after the 6-1 victory, is back in training but still has some discomfort, making his participation uncertain.

Sven Ulreich is also unavailable because of a muscle tear sustained against Bayer Leverkusen, which may lead to 16-year-old Leonard Prescott starting in goal if Urbig does not get cleared.

There are additional concerns in other positions. Jamal Musiala is out for this match and may miss the upcoming Bundesliga game against Union Berlin.

Alphonso Davies is sidelined with a hamstring injury, and Hiroki Ito is still not ready to return.

Michael Olise and Joshua Kimmich are both suspended after receiving yellow cards that incurred a one-match ban.

Several young players are also unavailable. Cassiano Kiala, David Santos, and Wisdom Mike, who recently were part of the senior squad, are out for the season, except for Santos, who is expected back in April.

Up front, Harry Kane has not started any of Bayern’s last three matches. He came off the bench in the draw with Leverkusen but could return to action due to Bayern’s five-goal lead. He has trained normally and is expected to be available.

Bayern Munich predicted lineup

Possible starting XI: Prescott; Stanisic, Upamecano, Tah, Laimer; Goretzka, Pavlovic; Karl, Gnabry, Diaz; Jackson.

When will the match kick off?

The match is set to kick off at 8pm BST on Wednesday, 18th March.
