Bayern optimistic over Lewandowski, Hummels and Boateng ahead of Madrid clash

Bayern Munich are hopeful Mats Hummels, Jerome
Boateng and Robert Lewandowski will be available
for the second leg of their Champions League
quarter-final tie with Real Madrid on Tuesday.
Both Hummels and Lewandowski missed the first
leg at the Allianz Arena and the Bundesliga clash
with Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend due to
injury, while Boateng was also forced to sit out the
latter game due to an adductor issue.
The trio were part of the group that travelled to
Madrid on Monday, though, and chairman Karl-
Heinz Rummenigge hopes they will be fit to help
Bayern try to turn around a 2-1 deficit.
"Our medical department has done some great
work over the past few days," Rummenigge told
reporters.
"They will undergo a late fitness test in Madrid on
Monday evening.
"We will then make a decision whether these three
are available.
"We will have to wait and see, but we are not
pessimistic."

Carlo Ancelotti will be hoping both Hummels and
Boateng get the green light for the match at the
Santiago Bernabeu, with Javi Martinez unavailable
due to his red card in the first leg.
Lewandowski was suspended for the match
against Leverkusen at the weekend, when he stated
he will be ready to take on Madrid.
