Bayern München Availability

Bayern are hit by multiple absences.

• M. Cardozo (Thigh Injury) is sidelined.
• S. Gnabry (Muscle Injury) is sidelined.
• C. Kiala (Ankle Injury) is sidelined.
• W. Mike (Hip Injury) is sidelined.
• B. Ndiaye (Inactive) is sidelined.

None of Bayern’s leading Champions League scorers or creators are listed as missing: H. Kane (13 goals, 2 assists) and L. Díaz (7 goals, 3 assists) are available, as is chief creator M. Olise (5 goals, 6 assists). Their presence preserves Bayern’s main attacking core despite the depth being reduced.

Paris Saint Germain Availability

Paris Saint Germain also have notable absentees.

• L. Chevalier (Muscle Injury) is sidelined.
• A. Hakimi (Thigh Injury) is sidelined.
• Q. Ndjantou (Muscle Injury) is sidelined.

A. Hakimi’s absence is a major blow given his 6 assists and key role from defense. However, leading attackers K. Kvaratskhelia (10 goals, 5 assists), O. Dembélé (6 goals, 2 assists), Vitinha (6 goals, 1 assist) and D. Doué (5 goals, 4 assists) remain available.

Impact Summary

Bayern München lose rotational options but retain virtually all of their elite attacking output, anchored by H. Kane and supported by L. Díaz and M. Olise. Paris Saint Germain’s forward firepower is intact, yet the loss of A. Hakimi removes an important supply line and wide threat, slightly tilting the creative balance toward Bayern ahead of this semi-final.
