Bayern Munich are without striker Robert Lewandowski, who has been ruled out of Wednesday’s first leg with a knee injury.

Lewandowski, who will be joined on the sidelines by Corentin Tolisso and Douglas Costa, is also doubtful for the second leg on April 13.

Bayern have Jerome Boateng and Alphonso Davies available again after the pair missed the weekend Bundesliga win at RB Leipzig through suspension.

But midfielder Marc Roca has been ruled out, while winger Serge Gnabry has tested positive for coronavirus.

Paris Saint-Germain are without the suspended Leandro Paredes and are sweating over the fitness of midfielder Daniel Pereira.

Marco Verratti and Alessandro Florenzi will sit out the first-leg tie after returning positive coronavirus tests.
