The return leg between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain is fast approaching… and both squads are under pressure. Despite heavy rotation on both sides this weekend, several key absences are still expected.
On the Paris side, three confirmed absentees stand out: Achraf Hakimi, who picked up a thigh injury in the first leg, is ruled out, along with Lucas Chevalier and Quentin Ndjantou. However, the main concern revolves more around overall fitness levels.
Squad fitness concerns on both sides ahead of decisive clash
Several key players were rested over the weekend, including Marquinhos, Ousmane Dembélé, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, while Nuno Mendes and Vitinha were given complete rest. Nothing alarming at this stage, but their physical condition will be closely monitored.
Bayern Munich are also dealing with absences, as Serge Gnabry and Raphaël Guerreiro remain unavailable. Doubts linger over younger players like Lennart Karl and Tom Bischof, while Alphonso Davies raises questions due to his reduced fitness, potentially starting from the bench.
With just days to go before the decisive encounter, one thing is clear: both teams are weakened, yet fully determined to secure a place in the final.
