Leroy Sane and Manuel Neuer will both be fit enough to face Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-final second leg in Munich on Wednesday.

The Gunners hosted the Bavarian team at Emirates Stadium last week for the first leg which ended in a 2-2 draw, setting the stage for a tightly contested tie.

"Manu [Neuer] can play, Leroy [Sane] can play, but he has to bite his teeth, like he has in the last few weeks,” said Tuchel in his pre-match press conference.

Former Tottenham striker Harry Kane also admitted his disappointment regarding his teammates absence in the second leg fixture.

“It's disappointing for King and Serge,” said Kane.

“They've struggled with injuries this season, it's not easy to watch teammates when they can't be there.

“But it doesn't matter who we line up with tomorrow. Whoever has played has always had an impact. We had a few injury worries, but we did great. It doesn't matter who starts. We're focused and will give everything. We're also fighting for the injured players and hope they come back quickly.”
