Nathan Tella - Trains normally Tuesday Tella (foot) was spotted training normally Tuesday and could be an option for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Arsenal, the club posted.

Impact Tella has been sidelined since mid-January with a foot injury but appears to be closing in on a return after being spotted back in team training Tuesday, one day before Wednesday's Champions League showdown with Arsenal. It remains unclear whether the versatile midfielder will be ready to feature against the Gunners. That said, his return to the squad would be a timely boost for the Werkself as they continue to deal with injuries to Lucas Vazquez (calf) and Arthur (ankle).

Patrik Schick - Could play Wednesday Schick (strain) was spotted in team training Tuesday and could be an option for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Arsenal, the club posted.

Impact Schick appears to be past the muscular issue that kept him out of the last two matches, as he trained normally with the squad Tuesday and could now be in contention for Wednesday's Champions League showdown with Arsenal. That would be a major boost for the Werkself given the Czech striker has been a locked-in starter up top and has already delivered four goals in eight appearances in the competition this campaign. If the staff decides to ease him back from the bench, Christian Kofane would likely get another run in the starting role.

Mark Flekken - Could return against Arsenal Flekken (knee) was spotted training normally Tuesday and could be an option for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Arsenal, the club posted.

Impact Flekken returned to full team training Tuesday, just one day ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash against Arsenal, and could be in line to rejoin the matchday squad. The goalkeeper has been sidelined since mid-January with an MCL injury but now appears to be closing in on a return to action. That said, Janis Blaswich has delivered solid performances between the posts during his absence, so it remains to be seen whether Flekken will step right back into the starting role once he is fully cleared to feature.

Alex Grimaldo - Won't play against Bayern Grimaldo will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in the Bundesliga.

Impact Grimaldo picked up his fifth yellow card in Bundesliga play and will miss Saturday's showdown against Bayern due to suspension. The left wing back has been a locked-in starter on the left flank for the Werkself all season, so his absence creates a real hole in the starting XI and forces a tactical reshuffle. Ernest Poku is expected to step into the role against the Bavarians, similar to the previous occasions when the Spaniard was forced to miss time.
