Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich lineups: Predicted XIs, confirmed team news and injury latest

Tie finely poised after thrilling 2-2 draw in Germany
Jonathan Gorrie2 minutes ago

Real Madrid’s only slight injury concern for their Champions League semi-final second leg meeting with Bayern Munich on Wednesday is Aurelien Tchouameni.

The midfielder played the entirety of last week’s 2-2 draw in the Allianz Arena but limped out of training late last week.

Tchouameni, however, was an unused substitute for Madrid’s 3-0 win over Cadiz on Saturday as the giants of Spanish football were crowned LaLiga champions for the 36th time.

David Alaba is the only other absentee, with Thibaut Courtois having returned but only set for the bench at the Bernabeu.

For Bayern, the story is very different.

Both Raphael Guerreiro and Eric Dier were forced off during their loss to Stuttgart on Saturday, while decisions will need to be made over Matthijs de Ligt and Dayot Upamecano.

Sacha Boey, Bouna Sarr and Kingsley Coman are all injured.
