Bild newspaper reported that Bayern Munich will be almost absent when it faces Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
During the last two weeks, the Bavarian giant has missed the services of 5 players due to various injuries, but the surprise is that all of them have returned to training in the past hours and will head with Thomas Tuchel’s squad to London.
The top names that will participate in the Gunners summit are goalkeeper and captain Manuel Neuer, who has been absent since his presence in the German national team camp during the last international break.
The duo Kingsley Coman and Leroy Sane also returned, in addition to the readiness of Moroccan full-back Noussair Mazraoui to play this fateful match for the German club.
Despite suffering from a severe cold, Alexander Pavlovich recovered, and was able to lead the midfield of Tuchel’s battalion in the upcoming summit against Arsenal.
Thus, Bayern Munich will only lose the services of Bouna Sarr, the right-back who has been absent since the beginning of the season due to the cruciate ligament, and his latest winter signing, Sasha Boye.
The return of the quintet represents good news for Tuchel to support the team, after the defeats in the last two matches against Borussia Dortmund and Heidenheim, and the great pressure on the German coach to overcome Arsenal and save the season.
It is noteworthy that the Champions League is the last chance for Bayern to achieve a title this season, after bidding farewell to the German Cup in the first round, and losing the German League title to Bayer Leverkusen for the first time in 11 years.
