Bayern Munich visit the Emirate stadium with injury concerns.

In a crucial update ahead of their Champions League quarter-final first-leg clash against Arsenal, Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel has disclosed that key players may miss the match day squad.

List of players nursing injury concerns.

Manuel Neuer, Kingsley Coman, Leroy Sane, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Noussair Mazraoui.

These players, who are currently sidelined, are also doubtful for the upcoming encounter against FC Heidenheim, casting a shadow of uncertainty over their availability for the pivotal London fixture.

Despite Harry Kane’s recovery from a recent knock, Tuchel faces a significant setback with the potential absence of up to five key players, dampening the team’s morale ahead of the highly anticipated encounter.

Arsenal Bukayo Saka boost.

In contrast, Arsenal seems to be in a better position with Bukayo Saka expected to return after missing their previous victory due to injury.

The young forward’s potential availability adds depth to Arsenal’s lineup as they prepare to challenge Bayern Munich.

While Bayern Munich has historically dominated encounters against Arsenal, winning seven out of 12 meetings, the upcoming clash presents a different scenario.

The North London side will be eager to capitalize on Bayern’s recent struggles, having lost eight matches across various competitions this season.

With the first-leg match poised to be a crucial showdown, Arsenal aims to secure a favorable result on home turf, setting the stage for an intense battle at Allianz Arena in the return fixture on April 17th.
