It’s only a small doubt, but Sky Sports said that Rogers came off at Portman Road because of a tight hamstring. Rogers has discovered some form in recent weeks, supplying two assists against Wolves, and getting on the score sheet against Ipswich.

Boubacar Kamara and Tyrone Mings are still working their way back following serious knee injuries. Kamara suffered his in February, whilst Mings has been out for more than a year after being stretchered off on the opening day of the 2023/24 Premier League season.

Matty Cash was hoping to be involved against Bayern, and spoke of his desire to get himself fit, but he’s not played since the defeat to Arsenal, which was more than a month ago.

John McGinn sustained a hamstring injury in the win against Wolves and is expected to be out for the next two to three weeks. It means he'll not only miss the game against Bayern, but will also be out of Scotland's Nations League matches this month.

Out: Boubacar Kamara, John McGinn, and Tyrone Mings. Doubt: Matty Cash, and Morgan Rogers.
