Frenkie de Jong is also close to recovery, but Marc Bernal is out for the long term with a knee injury. The home side are without Ferran Torres due to a hamstring problem, and central defenders Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen are also absent, leaving youngster Pau Cubarsi to play.
Bayern will be without Aleksandar Pavlovic after breaking his collarbone, with Joao Palhinha a candidate to replace him. Raphael Guerreiro has been playing at right-back recently, but Konrad Laimer could also deputise for him, while Joshua Kimmich is likely to continue in midfield ahead of Leon Goretzka.
Jamal Musiala will be a major absentee if he fails to recover from a hip injury, along with right-backs Josip Stanisic and Sacha Boey, leading to Guerreiro having to adjust his position.

Latest football commentary on Barcelona vs Bayern Munich
Hansi Flick's impressive start to life at Barcelona continued with a 5-1 win over Sevilla, which kept the gap at the top of La Liga three points. The only negatives were a loss to Osasuna and a defeat to Monaco when Barcelona were down to 10 men at half-time.
The team bounced back with a 5-0 win over Young Boys, setting up a good chance of hosting Bayern - the former club of Flick and Robert Lewandowski. Flick now has a winning record of 17 out of 20 Champions League games, the best record in the history of the competition.
However, the history between Barcelona and Bayern is not in their favour, with just two wins in the previous 15 meetings. Bayern have won the last six, including an 8-2 victory in 2020, and they could equal their record for consecutive wins against Barcelona if they win this match.
Vincent Kompany will be hoping his side respond to defeat at Aston Villa, in which Jhon Duran scored an impressive goal. The result ends Bayern's 41-game unbeaten run at this stage of the Champions League and could see them lose three consecutive away games for the first time in their history.
Bayern won three games in a week in September, scoring 20 goals, but have recently drawn with Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt, along with a defeat to Aston Villa. However, that winless run was ended when Harry Kane scored a hat trick in a 4-0 win over Stuttgart, which put them top of the Bundesliga on goal difference.
