Lewandowski won't be risked in Bayern's trip to Celtic

Robert Lewandowski was excluded from Bayern Munich's travelling party to Celtic as a precautionary measure after picking up "a slight muscular problem in his thigh" over the weekend.

The Polish striker was withdrawn just before the break during Saturday's 2-0 win over RB Leipzig, and has consequently been replaced by Under-19 striker Manuel Wintzheimer in the 19-man squad heading to Glasgow for Tuesday's Champions League group-stage meeting.

Kingsley Coman was named among Jupp Heynckes' troops for the Celtic game, but it's unclear whether he'll feature after sitting out Saturday's Bundesliga clash with a knee complaint.

Manuel Neuer, Thomas Muller, Franck Ribery, and Juan Bernat all stayed behind in Munich to work on their respective rehabilitations from injury.

Here's the squad available for Tuesday's match at Celtic:

Sven Ulreich, Tom Starke, Niklas Sule, Mats Hummels, Thiago Alcantara, Javi Martinez, Arjen Robben, James Rodriguez, Rafinha, Jerome Boateng, Sebastian Rudy, Arturo Vidal, Corentin Tolisso, David Alaba, Kingsley Coman, Joshua Kimmich, Marco Friedl, Christian Fruchtl, Manuel Wintzheimer.
