Picks up injury against Wolfsburg Hernandez picked up a leg injury that forced him to sub off in the final moments of Saturday's 3-2 win over Wolfsburg.

Impact Hernandez has only started 14 times in 19 league appearances but did start both legs of the UCL tie with PSG. If he's out for an extended period, David Alaba could move back into a role at center-back instead of in defensive-midfield. If he's not preferred, a younger player like Tanguy Nianzou could make a few starts over the final weeks of the season.

Starting against PSG Hernandez (knock) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against PSG.

Impact After missing the match over the weekend with a knock, it looks like Hernandez is ready to go Tuesday, though he's set to play in a more central role with David Alaba moving to the midfield. In turn, that likely means even fewer opportunities to get forward, as Hernandez will need to respect the counterattack of PSG and Kylian Mbappe.

Should be ready Tuesday Hernandez (knock) trained and looked good ahead of Tuesday's trip to PSG, according to manager Hansi Flick.

Impact Hernandez went the full 90 in the first leg, but he didn't do much in terms of fantasy even though Bayern racked up the shots. It's clear he's being asked to stay back a little more as a left-back and that's led to just two shots and one cross in his last three starts.
