TEAM NEWS
Former Bayern midfielder Julia Zigiotti is available to return for United, after missing Saturday’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester City as she served a one-match suspension in the Barclays Women’s Super League.
Head coach Marc Skinner may provide further concrete updates on his squad when he conducts his pre-match press conference on Tuesday, which you will be able to see here in the United App and on ManUtd.com.
Elisabeth Terland, our top scorer this season with 15 goals, was also absent for the derby at the weekend as she is managing a knock. Layla Drury’s introduction as a substitute meant she became the youngest player to feature in a WSL Manchester derby at 16 years and 289 days, but she is not currently registered to play in the Champions League.
Leah Galton, Dominique Janssen, Anna Sandberg, Ella Toone and Ellen Wangerheim have all been sidelined of late, while Celin Bizet Donnum remains unavailable while she is expecting a baby.
Bayern, meanwhile, made seven changes for their weekend win over Nurnberg, affording a lighter load to several stars of their first-leg success last week. That included Pernille Harder, who scored twice at Old Trafford before being brought into the game as a 72nd-minute sub on Saturday.
Klara Buhl, Jovana Damnjanovic, Anna Klink, Katharina Naschenweng, Lena Oberdorf, Alara Sehitler and Sarah Zadrazil didn’t make the trip to Manchester or play on their return to league action.
