Bayern Munich have been dealt a triple injury blow ahead of their crucial Champions League clash with Arsenal.

Both sides played out an entertaining 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium in the quarter-final first leg, with Leandro Trossard notching a late leveller.

Harry Kane scored from the penalty spot and fellow England international Bukayo Saka was denied a penalty in the dying stages after a coming together with Manuel Neuer.

Thomas Tuchel's side returned to domestic action against FC Koln this weekend, winning 2-0 at the Allianz Arena.

Raphael Guerreiro and Thomas Muller both found the net but there were injury woes for the hosts throughout.

Both Gnabry and Leroy Sane have both been ruled out entirely ahead of Wednesday's second leg, with the latter picking up a hamstring issue.

Neuer was also missing from Bayern's squad with a fresh adductor issue and Tuchel was forced to provide an update earlier this week.

"Manu reported adductor problems in training yesterday. He really wanted to play, but there was simply a residual risk," Tuchel told Sky Germany.

"And there was no reason to take a residual risk today - especially if Ulle is fit. That was with a view to Wednesday, the risk is simply too great."

The Gunners are back in action against Aston Villa on Sunday with hopes of a Premier League crown still a real possibility.

Arteta's men are just two points behind league leaders with Manchester City having played a game less and can go top with victory on home soil.

"I think it is just motivation," said the Spaniard in his pre-match press conference.

"I think they’ve lived it already and they are super excited about what we are doing and the way the team is performing, winning matches and they want more.

"We know the task, the challenge ahead of us and how good we have to be to win it, but we're going to try.

"For sure [we know], because we can be in all competitions, going into the semi-finals of the Champions League and be top of the Premier League, or not.

"Every game is going to define what our future looks like."
