It is reported that Bayern staff made the decision to keep Lewandowski on the sidelines after he struggled to move his arm as usual during their final training session ahead of Wednesday's game.

Thomas Muller will lead the line in the absence of Lewandowski, who has scored 38 goals in 40 appearances this season, including seven in the Champions League.
