The 24-year-old has apparently recovered in time from a muscle tear in his thigh in time to play. Kicker also reports that Thomas Müller - subbed off at the half with calf issues in this weekend's 3-0 victory over VfL Bochum - also completed Bayern's final team training session and should be ready to go.

The German record champions enter the UCL matchup having won three matches on-the-bounce. The new calendar year nevertheless began rather tepid for the Bavarians. Nagelsmann's charges in initial drew three consecutive Bundesliga matches after play resumed in January.
