Bayern Munich
With Musiala watching on helplessly for several weeks, Kompany will likely have no choice but to turn to 35-year-old Thomas Muller, who is confirmed to be ending his glittering spell at Bayern this summer but not without a potential run back in the starting XI.
As well as the stricken Musiala, the hosts have lost defensive duo Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano to serious knee problems, and it remains to be seen if Kingsley Coman (unspecified) and Manuel Neuer (calf) will be available for the first leg; the latter's chances are considered incredibly slim.
However, hotshot Harry Kane played down fears of an injury on Friday after he was seen with an ice pack on his ankle, and the Tottenham Hotspur legend should be given the thumbs-up to lead the line after becoming the first English player to score 10 goals in a single Champions League season.
Bayern Munich possible starting lineup:
Urbig; Laimer, Kim, Dier, Guerreiro; Palhinha, Kimmich; Olise, Muller, Sane; Kane
Inter Milan
Meanwhile, Inter's defensive collapse against Parma can be partially attributed to Alessandro Bastoni being withdrawn at half time with a knee problem, but the Italy international is believed to be winning his battle to be fit for the first leg.
The same cannot be said for Mehdi Taremi (muscle), Piotr Zielinski (calf) or Denzel Dumfries (thigh), though, while midfield fulcrum Kristjan Asllani must serve a one-game ban for an accumulation of yellow cards.
With Zielinski and Asllani both unavailable, the door will open for Davide Frattesi to join Calhanoglu and Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the centre of the park, behind the lethal strikeforce of Thuram and skipper Lautaro Martinez.
Inter Milan possible starting lineup:
Sommer; Acerbi, Bisseck, Bastoni; Darmian, Calhanoglu, Frattesi, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez
Prediction: Bayern Munich 2-1 Inter Milan
