Kimmich was ruled out with a cold, the Italian said, but fit-again Arturo Vidal and Thiago Alcantara will be available.

Boateng is not expected to return before the end of the month while Ribery has been ruled out for two weeks with a pulled muscle.

Ancelotti heaped praise on captain Philipp Lahm, who was back in training after suffering a minor knock on Monday, and could play his 500th game for the Bavarian club.

"He is a role model and the captain of the team," Ancelotti said. "But I cannot say yet if he will play his 500th game for Bayern on the weekend."
