Further updates were given on the status of five players were also disseminated at the presser.
Nagelsmann also noted that Jamal Musiala (returning from a COVID infection) would be in the matchday squad, yet definitely wouldn’t start after missing out on several squad training sessions. The FCB trainer said he felt comfortable with the progress of Thomas Müller (also returning from COVID and having back issues), Matthjis de Ligt (hip issues), and Serge Gnabry (knee capsule injury).
Alphonso Davies (return from a concession) and Lucas Hernandez (recovering from a muscle tear sustained in September) might both be available for the starting left-back role. Davies seems the more likely choice given the short term nature of his absence. Nagelsmann confirmed that the Canadian international had been symptom free over the last few days.
