Julian Nagelsmann: "Leon Goretzka has unfortunately had to stop training again and will not be available tomorrow. Serge Gnabry suffered an adductor problem against Dortmund and will not play tomorrow either"
Nagelsmann: "Choupo-Moting still has a few problems, he can't train yet. Josh [Kimmich] will get tested tomorrow and will normally go out of quarantine. But it doesn't make sense to play him tomorrow. We have to look for Saturday"
Nagelsmann: "Lucas Hernández is doing well, but I'm not sure if he'll start tomorrow with a view to Saturday's important game against Mainz. Regarding Sabitzer he'll still take a while, he is in individual training. It's still taking time"
Nagelsmann: "We're happy that we're going into this game having already secured top spot. Nevertheless it's still an important game. The Champions League is always something special - and we want to be fair to the rest of the teams in the group"
Nagelsmann on Barcelona: "Xavi and his team haven't had that many training sessions. They are now defending higher than they did before. Their counter-pressing is also more active. On the one hand, that leaves gaps behind, because it's difficult to always cover all spaces"
Nagelsmann: "Barça still have world-class players. They are under pressure in the table and have to win, they will give everything for that. It's not about sending them out of the competition, but about three points for us. I still see them as a candidate for the title."
Nagelsmann on Coman: "I'm really happy for him. His qualities are of different nature. His finishing has improved significantly. He is really good in 1v1 situations and is a very good assister. I want to keep him here for several years and I appreciate him very much as a person""
Rotation tomorrow?
Nagelsmann: "We will play with our best available team"
Nagelsmann on Barça: "La Masia is now producing more good players again. That may not have been the case in the last 3 or 4 years. They still have a very good squad. With Frenkie de Jong they have one of the best midfielders in the world. I think they are on the right track."
