In addition to Josip Stanisic and their long-term absentees, Bayern Munich will apparently have to manage without Dayot Upamecano (toe), Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (stomach bug) and Ryan Gravenberch (knee) today.

Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann said at the pre-match press conference that he was confident that Upamecano and Choupo-Moting would be ready to play.

However, according to reports, neither of them will be able to feature for the German champions, who will need a win to reclaim first place from Union Berlin.
