Goretzka missed Bayern's 3-0 Champions League win over Barcelona in mid-week and remains sidelined.
"Leon Goretzka will unfortunately miss out with a patellar tendon issue," revealed Nagelsmann at the pre-match press conference.
"It's pain-related, but nothing dramatic. We just want to be careful with him," added the Bayern coach.
Additionally, Bayern will be without long-term absentees JOshua Kimmich, Marcel Sabitzer, Josip Stanisic and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
Serge Gnabry, on the other hand, is fit again.
