- Alphonso Davies suffered an ankle injury against Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend and will not play again this year.
- Serge Gnabry tested positive for COVID-19 but a few days later the test was proved to be a "false positive". He is cleared to play.

Lewandowski won't play today, he's resting before Champions League.
@wilde He has on average scored once every 37 minutes in the Bundesliga this season. Insane.
@wilde The GOAT Choupo-Moting will play. Also Goretzka is being rested. Still Bayern should have way too much. Gnabry to score anytime is a nice tip and Bayern over 2,5 goals.
