Bayern Munich Team News

Bayern has nearly a full squad, but goalkeeper Manuel Neuer will miss the match due to a calf issue, with Jonas Urbig expected to start in goal.

Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano are set to play as centre-backs in front of Urbig.

Raphael Guerreiro may play limited minutes due to a muscle problem.

Alphonso Davies is likely to start at left-back, with Leon Goretzka partnering Joshua Kimmich in central midfield.

Eintracht Frankfurt Team News

Frankfurt faces several absences, particularly in attack. Strikers Michy Batshuayi (ankle), Younes Ebnoutalib (knee), and Arnaud Kalimuendo (shoulder) are all out, while Jonathan Burkardt is uncertain due to illness.

They also have issues in attacking midfield, with Ansgar Knauff (abdominal issue) and Can Uzun (thigh injury) unavailable. Fares Chaibi is a doubt with a thigh problem.

In defence, centre-back Arthur Theate has a knee injury and right-back Rasmus Kristensen is sidelined with an ankle issue. This may lead to a back three of Nnamdi Collins, Robin Koch, and Aurele Amenda, with Ritsu Doan and Nathaniel Brown as wing-backs.
