In a huge blow for Bayern Munich, top scorer Robert Lewandowski is out of the momentous game against Real Madrid. The Polish striker has not been able to recover in time from his right shoulder problems and will not take part in Wednesday's match at the Allianz Arena.
Thomas Muller will take his place. Lewandowski was replaced in the last game against Borussia Dortmund after being knocked over by Swiss goalkeeper Burki, an action that led to a penalty.
Club medical staff have decided that they won't risk playing the striker in the first leg, preferring to keep him in reserve for the return at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
