Thus, it is certain that Gnabry will not take part when Bayern host Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final at the Allianz Arena, Wednesday local time (Thursday WIB).

This is clearly not good news for Bayern's front line who have already lost their main bomber Robert Lewandowski for nearly four weeks with a knee injury.

Bayern's match against PSG in the quarter-finals is like a replay of last season's final which was won by the Bavarian Forces 1-0 in Lisbon, Portugal, on August 23, 2020.

Bayern arrived in the quarter-finals as Group A winners and passed Lazio smoothly in the last 16.

Meanwhile, PSG won Group H and persistently got rid of Barcelona with a convincing victory at Camp Nou.

The second leg of the quarter-finals is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, April 13 next week at the Parc des Princes, Paris.
