Nagelsmann provides injury update ahead of UCL clash with Barcelona

Julian Nagelsmann has confirmed Bayern Munich will not have five of their players for the Champions League clash with Barcelona on Wednesday.

Bayern Munich

are out to make it six wins from six when they host

Barcelona

in their final UEFA Champions League Group E encounter on Wednesday.

Julian Nagelsmann

's side have already guaranteed the top spot while the Catalan giants are in a two-way fight with

Benfica

to qualify for the knockout stage.

Barcelona are currently two points ahead of Benfica, but has a worse head-to-head record. That means they must outperform Benfica's result against

Dynamo Kyiv

in order to advance.

That is a big task for

Xavi

’s men as the German side are one of the biggest contenders to win this season’s Champions League.

However, Barcelona have been given a huge boost as Julian Nagelsmann confirmed he will not have

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting

,

Leon Goretzka

,

Joshua Kimmich

,

Serge Gnabry

and

Marcel Sabitzer

at his disposal.

“Goretszka has not completed training and he cannot play tomorrow,”

said Nagelsmann in his pre-match press conference, as noted by

Marca

.

“Gnabry had problems in the adductor area against Dortmund, he is also out.

Choupo-Moteng still has some problems and he still cannot train.

“It doesn’t make sense that Kimmich plays tomorrow, and Sabitzer will be out a little longer, he is training individually.”
