LW, Kingsley Coman: With Serge Gnabry recovering from a minor injury, the selection on the left flank is straightforward. Kingsley Coman will play on the left side of the attack. The French winger will look to continue his recent upturn in form.

ST, Michael Olise: Thomas Muller suffered a minor knock against Heidenheim. Kompany will have to deploy Michael Olise as false nine on Tuesday. Olise has looked back to his best in the last couple of games after enduring a short spell of poor form. The French winger links up well with other forwards while playing in the false nine position. It wouldn’t be a surprise if Olise is on the scoresheet against Shakhtar Donetsk.

RW, Leroy Sane: Courtesy of injuries to other forwards, Kompany will continue with Leroy Sane on the right side of the attack. The German winger needs to deliver to earn a new deal at Bayern. His current performances have certainly put his future at Bayern in jeopardy.
