LINEUP ISSUES
Dynamo
Injured forward Artem Besedin and defender Denys Popov definitely won’t take the field. Eric Ramirez is reconditioning after COVID. Vitaliy Buialskyi has also stayed in Kyiv.
Bayern
Kingsley Coman will probably skip the match although he’s already training with the team. It’s also questionable whether Serge Gnabry and Jamal Musiala will take the field.
