Munich (AP) - Alexander Nübel replaces the sick national goalkeeper Manuel Neuer in the Champions League home game of FC Bayern against Lazio Rome.
The 24-year-old will make his third appearance for the German record champions in the second leg of the round of 16 on Wednesday.
So far, the newcomer from FC Schalke 04 has played against 1. FC Düren (3: 0) in the DFB Cup and against Atlético Madrid (1: 1) in the Champions League.
The ailing Kingsley Coman is also missing from the squad like the newcomer with a cold.
Thomas Müller is the captain representing the national goalkeeper.
In the left-back position, Lucas Hernández is preferred to Alphonso Davies.
19-year-old Lukas Schneller is sitting on the Munich bench as a replacement for Nübel.
So far he has played seven times for the amateurs in the third division.
After the 4: 1 in the first leg, the chances of Bayern advancing are excellent.
It would be the 19th quarter-finals in Munich, which is the only record in the premier class.
The quarter and semi-finals will be drawn in Nyon on Friday.
