FC Bayern Munich is set to face Shakhtar Donetsk in a Champions League match tonight at 9 p.m. in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The match marks the 6th matchday of the league phase, with Bayern looking to secure a strong position for the knockout stages of the tournament.
Bayern Munich, currently aiming for their third consecutive victory in the Champions League, comes into the match after a recent win against Paris Saint-Germain. However, they are facing a significant injury crisis, missing key players including goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who is out with a broken rib, and several others due to muscle injuries.
Shakhtar Donetsk, on the other hand, has struggled in the competition, managing only one win from five matches. The team, relocated to the Veltins-Arena due to the war in Ukraine, hopes to improve their standing and secure a playoff spot, despite the challenges they face both on and off the field.
