Bayern Munich suffering major injury headache ahead of Celtic tie

Bayern Munich are facing a major injury headache ahead of tomorrow night's Champions League tie with Celtic.

Brendan Rodgers' side will go toe-to-toe with Vicent Kompany's men in Glasgow on Wednesday evening.

The Scottish Premiership champions will be looking to make home advantage count during the first leg of their play-off tie. 

They have been boosted by the news that Daizen Maeda is free to play following Celtic's successful appeal against his two-game ban for his red card against Young Boys.

But as far as the Bundesliga giants go, Kompany does not appear to have such joy regarding squad availability. 

That's because Alphonso Davies,  Joao Palhinha, Daniel Peretz and Hiroki Ito are all major doubts.

Davies has failed a fitness test, according to media sources in Germany, while Palhinha missed Bayern's 3-0 win over Werder Bremen last Friday due to illness. 

Peretz - the club's back-up goalkeeper - has returned to training after suffering from a kidney infection, however, it's too soon for him to be involved.

And Ito has yet to make his debut for Bayern as he makes his recovery from a broken metatarsal. 

After leaving out key players such as Manuel Neuer, Serge Gnabry and Kim Min-Jae against Bremen last week, it's widely expected all three will come back into the fold for this one.
