Sure, Bayern Munich have a bit of an injury list at the moment. Joshua Kimmich and Serge Gnabry are nursing knocks while Hiroki Itō is far from fully match fit and the duo of Jamal Musiala and Alphonso
Davies also miss out. But their opponents 0n Wednesday in the Champions League, Arsenal FC, are dealing with injuries as well. English news site Sports Mole captured every individual player’s injury situation:
Gabriel Magalhaes: Out
Gabriel Magalhaes was seen joining in the celebrations on Sunday, but the Brazilian faces at least a few weeks on the sidelines with the thigh injury he sustained while playing for his country earlier this month.
Victor Gyökeres: Major doubt
Viktor Gyokeres was close to returning from a hamstring problem in time for the derby, but he failed to make the grade and remains a major doubt for Bayern given the tight turnaround time.
Martin Ødegaard: Major doubt
Likewise, Martin Odegaard was on the verge of making his comeback against Spurs before being ruled out, but the captain – who issued a positive update on his recovery on Sunday – may have a slim chance of returning here.
Kai Havertz: Out
Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann recently revealed that Kai Havertz had suffered a setback in his recovery from a knee operation, so it is unclear when the versatile attacker might return.
Gabriel Jesus: Out
Gabriel Jesus has been in full training for the past couple of weeks after his ACL injury, and the striker is on course for a first-team return in late December or early January.
