Arsenal to look to its bench for the edge away at Bayern Munich
In the Champions League, Arsenal visit Bayern in Munich, who are without the suspended Michael Olise and the injured Jamal Musiala. Club Brugge forward Nicolo Tresoldi's three goals against Inter have also increased interest from Europe's big clubs.
Nine Champions League matches on Tuesday produced 40 goals. PSG beat Barcelona 4-2 despite losing Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to injury. The main match of the night is Bayern Munich against Arsenal at the Allianz Arena.
Arsenal won in Munich 11 months ago thanks to the strength of their bench. Noni Madueke scored from Riccardo Calafiori's cross, and Gabriel Martinelli beat Manuel Neuer. The London side's tally of goals scored by players coming off the bench since last season has reached 28.
Bayern's squad depth, on the other hand, is limited. Michael Olise is suspended and Jamal Musiala is injured. Ismael Saibari and Lennart Karl are expected to start. Joshua Kimmich missed Tuesday's training session for personal reasons but is expected to play. This season, 18 Bayern players have reached triple-digit minutes. Arsenal are expected to reach 23 or 24 players by May.
The other highlight of the night is Club Brugge's 22-year-old forward Nicolo Tresoldi. The player, who scored a hat trick against Inter, has eight goals in the Champions League. He is linked with many clubs, including Bayern, Arsenal, Barcelona and Liverpool. The match kicks off at 3:00 p.m. ET.
