Portugal international Raphael Guerreiro has been named in place of Jamal Musiala for Vincent Kompany's injury-ravaged Bayern Munich side in Tuesday's home Champions League quarterfinal against Inter Milan.

The coach opted against starting veteran Thomas Mueller – who on Saturday announced he would leave the club at the end of the season after 25 years – in Musiala's place.

Bayern come into the first leg against the Italian champions amid an injury crisis, with Musiala joining Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano, Manuel Neuer and Hiroki Ito in the casualty ward.

Kompany has started England veteran Eric Dier and Kim Min-jae, his only two fit centre-backs, in central defence.

Inter are also nursing their own injury woes, with Federico Dimarco on the bench, having been deemed not fit enough to start.

Alessandro Bastoni has however shaken off injury concerns to start in defence alongside former Bayern defender Benjamin Pavard.
