After missing Bayern’s last two games due to a foot problem, the 40-year-old resumed team training on Monday, taking part in a limited 40-minute session. Neuer was also involved in team training on Tuesday, the day before the game, meaning he looks set to start against Arsenal, provided he doesn’t suffer any further setbacks.

Squad update

Jonas Urbig has deputised for the veteran goalkeeper in Bayern’s last two games, a 3-3 draw with Viking and a 6-1 win over RB Leipzig.

Bayern assistant Aaron Danks was in charge of Tuesday’s training session in the absence of Vincent Kompany, who is suffering from a viral infection.
