Atalanta coach Palladino hopes to welcome back Ederson for Tuesday’s first leg, and captain Marten De Roon should start after being given a rare rest against Udinese, but the hosts will still be missing several players.
Giorgio Scalvini must serve a UEFA suspension, while Giacomo Raspadori has just resumed training, and key creator Charles De Ketelaere is still sidelined by a knee injury.
Bayern’s main man Kane was left out on Friday, nursing a minor calf problem, but he was spotted in training today and, having been included in the squad list, he is expected to feature in the starting XI. Bayern Munich will, however, be without Hiroki Ito and Manuel Neuer.
