Bayern Munich reportedly have concerns over Joshua Kimmich's fitness ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash with Manchester United.

Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich is an injury concern ahead of Wednesday's Champions League meeting with Manchester United.

The German champions prepared for their European clash with an entertaining 2-2 draw against Bayer Leverkusen on Friday evening.

The Bavarians looked set to claim all three points when they took a 2-1 lead thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Leon Goretzka.

However, Bayern were denied a fourth consecutive victory when Exequiel Palacios levelled from the penalty spot in stoppage time.

Kimmich failed to complete the contest after he was withdrawn on the hour mark and replaced by Noussair Mazraoui.

There was uncertainty surrounding Kimmich's availability prior to Friday's contest due to a knock that he picked up while on international duty.

Speaking after the draw with Leverkusen, Thomas Tuchel admitted that concerns over Kimmich's fitness led to his withdrawal.

The Bayern head coach told reporters: "Joshua had an inflamed tendon and we didn't want to take any risks with him.

"The medical team clearly said he could only play 60 minutes and that's why we brought him off in the 60th minute."

Tuchel will hope that the decision to substitute Kimmich will allow the Germany international to be fit for the club's first Champions League game of the 2023-24 season.

While Kimmich may be a doubt, Bayern are expected to be without the services of Manuel Neuer, Tarek Buchmann, Raphael Guerreiro and Kingsley Coman.

Bayern will have home advantage for Wednesday's clash, where they will face a Man United side looking for a response after suffering consecutive 3-1 Premier League defeats to Arsenal and Brighton & Hove Albion.

As well as going up against the 20-time English champions, the Bavarians have been drawn into a group alongside Galatasaray and Copenhagen.
