Head coach Rui Borges confirmed that Gonçalves and Trincão reported fitness problems before the trip to Munich. Quenda, meanwhile, remains sidelined with a foot injury that will keep him out for multiple matches. Borges admitted the team will likely adopt a deeper defensive approach against Bayern, a shift from their usual tactics.
