MUNICH, Germany - Bayern Munich midfielder Marc Roca has been ruled out of their of their Champions League quarter-final first leg against Paris St Germain on Wednesday, while winger Serge Gnabry is unlikely to feature either, coach Hansi Flick said on Tuesday.
The Bavarians are brimming with confidence, even without injured top striker Robert Lewandowski, having beaten second-placed RB Leipzig 1-0 on Saturday to open up a seven-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga table.Flick, who has led the Bavarians to six titles in the last 10 months including the Champions League, said Spaniard Roca suffered an injury on Sunday and was out. Gnabry has a sore throat and is unlikely to be included, said Flick.
"Paris are a new team with a new coach," said Flick. "I don't think that game matters anymore. We want to reach the semi-finals and the final. That is our aim."Flick said Bayern would have to press the French quickly when they attacked and beware of the speed of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe if they lose possession.
