Bayern Munich Team News: Star makes surprise recovery for Arsenal clash, duo out
BAYERN MUNICH will have Xabi Alonso available for tomorrow's Champions League clash with Arsenal after the Spaniard returned to training today.
Harry Redknapp predicts Bayern to beat Arsenal
Arsenal travel to Bayern Munich for the first leg of their last-16 clash.
Alonso was an injury doubt after yesterday limping out of training with a knock to his knee.
But the Spaniard was back training as normal today to allay concerns he would be ruled out of the tie.
Bayern will be without two other stars, however, as both center-back Jerome Boateng and winger Franck Ribery trained alone today.

The duo are not expected to be risked against Arsenal as they have only just recovered from injuries.
Bayern beat Arsenal 5-1 at home in last season's Champions League group stage and have beaten the Gunners in the knockout round in two of the last four seasons.
