Paris Saint-Germain have almost their entire squad at their disposal for the first time this season, with head coach Luis Enrique calling it “a lottery”. Only young Quentin Ndjantou is out with a hamstring injury, while midfield maestro Vitinha is cleared to return.
Bayern have a few injury concerns. Serge Gnabry has been ruled out for the season with a thigh injury, while Lennart Karl (muscle), Raphael Guerreiro (hamstring), David Santos (thigh), and Cassiano Kala (ligament) will also miss the match.
