How Bayern Munich could line up against Villarreal

Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann should have Lucas Hernandez available for the second leg of his side's Champions League quarter-final with Villarreal on Tuesday at the Allianz Arena.

The French defender was forced to sit out the recent Bundesliga win over Augsburg due to a thigh problem but is expected to shake off the issue in time for the midweek clash.

Fellow defender Niklas Sule is absent due to illness, while Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Bouna Sarr and Corentin Tolisso's injuries have also ruled them out of contention.

Alphonso Davies made his return from a heart problem in last week's first-leg defeat, and the Canadian ought to be fine to take his place at left-back after starting among the substitutes against Augsburg.

Tanguy Nianzou earned a start in defence in that game with Hernandez and Sule absent, but the former's expected return should see him rejoin Benjamin Pavard and Dayot Upamecano at the back.

Jamal Musiala was given the nod alongside Joshua Kimmich for the first leg, but the stage is now set for Leon Goretzka to return, even though he was bloodied at the Ceramica.

Serge Gnabry was hooked after 45 minutes at the weekend and could be the one to make way for the returning Kingsley Coman, with Thomas Muller and Leroy Sane holding their places.

Robert Lewandowski drew a rare blank in the first leg but got the team over the line with his penalty against Augsburg - a 46th goal in all competitions for the 33-year-old this season.

Bayern Munich possible starting lineup: Neuer; Pavard, Upamecano, Hernandez, Davies; Kimmich, Goretzka; Sane, Muller, Coman; Lewandowski
