FILE PHOTO (EDITORS NOTE: COMPOSITE OF TWO IMAGES - Image numbers (L) 624347276 and 619016290) In this composite image a comparision has been made between Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane (L) and Bayern Munich Head Coach / Manager, Carlo Ancelotti.  Ba

According to Marca (h/t Jack Wilson of the Express), Bayern hitman Robert Lewandowski is a "huge doubt" ahead of the visit of the 11-time champions of Europe, as manager Carlo Ancelotti faces his former club. 

The Poland international missed training after Der FCB beat Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. The striker suffered a shoulder injury against BVB after colliding with the goalkeeper.

However, Ancelotti insisted his star attacker will make his starting line-up in the first leg, per Marca.

"Lewy sustained a bruise," said the coach. "But the medical unit says it's no problem with regard to Wednesday."

The Champions League highlighted the striker's importance to the first-leg hosts:

Bayern stopper Manuel Neuer has returned to training after injury, but it is unknown if he will play against the Galacticos, per Wilson.

WhoScored.com rate the Germany international keeper as "doubtful," alongside Douglas Costa and Thomas Muller. Mats Hummels will not feature for Bayern, forcing Ancelotti to shuffle the pack as Philipp Lahm returns from suspension.

Real also have a defensive conundrum to solve with both Raphael Varane and Pepe ruled out with injury, per WhoScored. Fabio Coentrao is also out, which should see Nacho drafted into manager Zinedine Zidane's starting XI.

The 27-year-old has only featured once in Europe this term, according to WhoScored, but has 18 starts in La Liga under his belt.

Bayern appeared in fine fettle as they despatched BVB in the Bundesliga, and they appear ready to face the superstars of Real.

The performances of Ronaldo and Bale will shape the destiny of the tie, but Die Roten can put one step in the last four if they can exploit the Spanish giants' frailties in defence.
