Bayern Munich
After receiving a quintuple injury boost before heading to the Emirates, another absentee crisis could now befall Bayern boss Tuchel, who is definitely without first-choice left-back Alphonso Davies due to suspension; the Canadian was booked for the third time in the tournament in the first leg.
Fellow wide man Gnabry, Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman have also entered the treatment room with injuries of varying severity; the former's hamstring issue and Coman's groin problem will render them unavailable, while a question mark is hanging over Sane's head owing to a knock.
Sacha Boey (hip), Bouna Sarr (ACL), Tarek Buchmann (hamstring) and Gabriel Marusic (ACL) remain confined to the infirmary as well, but Manuel Neuer - rested for the weekend's beating of Koln as a precaution - should be fine to guard the posts.
Bayern Munich possible starting lineup:
Neuer; Kimmich, Dier, De Ligt, Guerreiro; Laimer, Goretzka; Muller, Musiala, Sane; Kane
Arsenal
Tuchel and Arteta can share each other's pain over fresh attacking concerns, as captain Martin Odegaard could not complete the full 90 in the loss to Villa due to an unspecified issue, leaving Gooners sweating over his fitness for the second leg.
Jurrien Timber is a guaranteed absentee as he continues his recuperation from his devastating ACL injury, but there is hope that the Dutchman will make his long-awaited comeback in May, and Arteta could still opt for a change in the full-back areas.
Oleksandr Zinchenko's performance against Villa left a lot to be desired, and with Jakub Kiwior also struggling to cope with Bayern's effervescent wingers last week, Takehiro Tomiyasu might be given the nod from the off this time around.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu; Odegaard, Jorginho, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli
Prediction: Bayern Munich 2-1 Arsenal (Bayern win 4-3 on aggregate)
