Alonso did not turn as drastically on weekends as company, although he tried to offer Wirtz a little break by naming on the bench. However, the Leverkusen star entered the second half conflict, and Die Werkself persecuted the game and was then forced after picked up an ankle injury.
Wirtz will miss the other leg and is out for the next few weeks.
Jeanuel Balacion and Martin Terrier are absent in the long run, while Granite Xhaka and Edmond Tapsob doubt the other leg on Tuesday due to blows. Nordi Mukiele was suspended after being released in Munich.
Leverkusen predicted a lineup against Bayern (3-4-2-1): Hradecky; Tapsoba, Tah, Hincapie; Friskpong, xhaka, palamos, grimaldo; Tella, Adli; Boniface.
Bazer You also have significant absences on Tuesday night. Visitors will be without Manuel Neuer due to a calf injury, and their longtime number one may not only appear after the international break in March.
Company has a relatively healthy team available. Aleksandar Pavlovic is the only other doubt through the disease.
Joshua Kimmich, Harry Kane, Michael Olise, Konrad Laimer and Alphonso Davies are among the players who will return to the initial XI who either appeared from the bench or did not play any role against Bochum at all.
Bayern predicted a setting against Leverkusen (4-2-3-1): Urbig; Laimer, remembered, kim, davies; Kimmich, Goretzka; Olise, Musiala, Coman; Kane.
Both teams have noted absent and will surely be less sure of themselves after what was going on in Bundesliga Saturday. Nevertheless, Bayern’s victory last week was a big reinforcement for Kompany’s shares in Munich, and they are now a heavy favorite to progress in the last eight after many have projects the away win in the first part.
It is not in their DNA, but Bayern can sit in its advantage and seek to hurt Leverkusen in transition. The hosts are obliged to push and blow in the absence of their leading playmaker, fighting without him on Saturday.
Visitors have done all hard work and will be happy to play a pretty boring other leg in Leverkusen.
