The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another round of matches this week as Barcelona play host to Julian Nagelsmann's Bayern Munich side in a crucial encounter at the Camp Nou on Thursday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Barcelona are currently in second place in the La Liga standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Catalan giants have scored seven goals in their last two matches and will need to be at their prolific best going into this game.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, are in second place in the Bundesliga table at the moment and have recovered from an inconsistent start to their league campaign. The Bavarians eased past TSG Hoffenheim by a comfortable 2-0 margin in their previous game and will be confident ahead of this match.
Barcelona vs Bayern Munich Team News
Barcelona
Sergi Roberto picked up an injury against Athletic Bilbao over the weekend and has been ruled out of this fixture. Jules Kounde is available for selection and will likely be called upon to reinforce Barcelona's right flank.
Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen remain injured and their absence serves as a massive blow to the Catalans' defensive setup. Barcelona's four-man midfield was successful against Athletic Bilbao and Xavi could employ similar tactics this week.
Injured: Sergi Roberto, Ronald Araujo, Memphis Depay, Andreas Christensen
Doubtful: None
Suspended: None
Bayern Munich
Leroy Sane was at his devastating best in the reverse fixture against Barcelona but will be unavailable for selection this week. Bayern Munich have an able reinforcement in Kingsley Coman, who is set to start alongside Sadio Mane and Serge Gnabry in a formidable front line.
With Lucas Hernandez injured, Julian Nagelsmann will likely persist with a centre-back pairing of Matthijs de Ligt and Dayot Upamecano. Manuel Neuer's absence could also prove crucial, with Sven Ulreich set to deputize against Barcelona.
Injured: Manuel Neuer, Lucas Hernandez, Leroy Sane, Bouna Sarr
