FC Bayern plays its most important game of the season against Lazio Rome.
Which staff does Thomas Tuchel trust in?
The lineup is fixed.
Update, 7:53 p.m.:
The wait is over – the official lineups are here!
FC Bayern starts against Lazio as follows:
Neuer - Kimmich, de Ligt, Dier, Guerreiro - Pavlovic, Goretzka - Sané, Müller, Musiala - Kane
Tuchel orders Joshua Kimmich back to the unpopular right-back position.
Leon Goretzka and Aleksandar Pavlovic once again act in the midfield center.
Leroy Sané returns to the starting eleven, as does Matthijs de Ligt.
On the bench for Munich: Mathys Tel, Minjae Kim, Bryan Zaragoza, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Sven Ulreich, Daniel Peretz, Alphonso Davies, Konrad Laimer and Serge Gnabry.
Gnabry is back for the first time after his long injury.
Maurizio Sarri sets up this Lazio team:
Provedel - Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Pellegrini - Guendouzi, Vecino, Alberto - Zaccagni, Immobile, Anderson

Update from March 5th, 5:26 p.m.:
Where to go with Joshua Kimmich?
This question must have given Thomas Tuchel a headache in the run-up to the Champions League game against Lazio Rome (here in the live ticker).
Against SC Freiburg he had one of his worst games of the season in the right-back position, and Tuchel took him off after 60 minutes.

From central midfield to right back to the substitute bench: anything is conceivable against Lazio.
If Tuchel trusts Kimmich again in front of the defense, it will cost either youngster Aleks Pavlovic or Leon Goretzka their place.
Kim on the bench against Lazio?
First information about Bayern's lineup is leaking out
Update from March 5th, 10:54 a.m.:
Does Minjae Kim have to go to the bench in the important Champions League second leg against Lazio?
At least that's what the
Bild
newspaper assumes.
According to the tabloid, the South Korean was not in the starting eleven for the final training session on Monday and will also be missing on Tuesday.
In the first half of the season, Bayern's new millionaire signing was one of the long-running favorites, but then had to sit on the bench against Leipzig after his return from the Asian Cup.
Against Freiburg he then represented the suspended Matthijs de Ligt, but was not really able to convince.
Now the South Korean is threatened with the bank again.
Matthijs de Ligt is expected to replace Minjae Kim in central defense.

Bayern line-up today against Lazio Rome: Tuchel riddle before fateful game
First report from March 4th:
Munich – FC Bayern wants to save its season on Tuesday.
Now that the Bundesliga championship has become a long way off, it seems as if the Champions League would be the best chance for a title.
But to do this, the record champions have to overturn the 0-1 defeat from the first leg against Lazio Rome.
Who is Thomas Tuchel counting on?
FC Bayern challenged in the second leg: Who will replace the suspended Upamecano?
In the second leg of the round of 16 in the Champions League, FC Bayern has to overturn a first-leg defeat against Lazio Rome.
Thanks to a penalty from Ciro Immobile, Munich lost 1-0 in the Olympic Stadium in Rome.
To make matters worse, Dayot Upamecano was shown a red card for stepping in before the penalty and is therefore suspended for the second leg.
But who will replace the French central defender in the second leg?
On Friday in the league, Kim Min-Jae and Eric Dier formed the duo in the headquarters.
It's quite possible that the Englishman will have to make room for Matthijs de Ligt, who was rested against SC Freiburg.
The Dutchman, who sat next to Thomas Tuchel at the pre-match press conference, knows the opposing coach Maurizio Sarri from his time at Juventus.
“I learned a lot from Sarri, especially when it comes to defensive work.
We played a lot of zonal coverage with him,” de Ligt reflected.
Will Leroy Sané and Alphonso Davies return to the starting lineup?

Davies return to the starting line-up?
Does Kimmich have to go back to the right back?
Alphonso Davies could be there again from the start for the first time.
According to Tuchel, the left-back, who is flirting with a move to Real Madrid, is a candidate for the starting eleven.
“Alphonso is definitely an alternative, he could probably play for over 90 minutes,” explained the outgoing Bayern coach.
It is also unclear whether Konrad Laimer will return to the starting lineup or whether Joshua Kimmich will have to defend at the back right again.
Noussair Mazraoui and Sacha Boey trained individually with the ball on Friday, but are not options for the squad.
Sané returns – Gnabry “a candidate for the squad”
On Friday in Freiburg, Leroy Sané was missing with a groin problem.
The offensive player returns to the squad against Lazio.
“He hasn’t played without pain for a long time.
He can probably train completely today, he trained completely yesterday.
He has a level of pain he can tolerate.
We assume that he will be in the squad and can play,” said Tuchel at the press conference.
It is uncertain whether he can be a candidate for the starting eleven.
Serge Gnabry, on the other hand, is not an option for the starting lineup.
“Serge can still be seen that he was injured for months, it will take a while.
He lacks rhythm.
We will talk to him again and maybe we will take him into the squad,” said the coach at the press conference.
The final decisions are to be made on Tuesday.
