Team News Atlético de Madrid
Atlético have Johnny Cardoso out, while Koke’s return to fitness is reported as a boost — though one preview notes Koke is back in training but not yet confirmed to start, so his starting status is unconfirmed. No suspensions were found in the sources checked.
Predicted Atlético de Madrid XI (predicted only, not confirmed): Oblak; Llorente, Le Normand, Hancko, Grimaldo; Hjulmand, Barrios, Baena; Simeone, Álvarez, Lookman.
Team News Bayern Munich
Bayern are without Ismael Saibari and Serge Gnabry, both carried off in the 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund. Michael Olise is expected to be OK after cramp late in that game.
