Impact Romero remains sidelined as he continues recovering from a muscle strain that previously forced him to miss two consecutive matches. The Argentine center-back was included in Saturday's La Liga squad against Levante but remained an unused substitute, suggesting he was not yet ready to return to competitive action. He was subsequently limited to gym work Monday and has now been excluded from the squad for Tuesday's European encounter, indicating that his recovery is still ongoing. His absence reduces Atletico's defensive options against Bayern, although the club has not confirmed whether he has suffered a setback or is simply being given additional time to regain full fitness. Romero will now target Sunday's La Liga clash against Barcelona as his next potential opportunity to return, with his availability dependent on his progress in training over the coming days. Robin Le Normand should be the one starting in his place against the Bavarians.
