By Can Erozden

The UEFA Champions League will return to action on Tuesday following an international break.

On matchday three, Galatasaray on Tuesday will face German powerhouse and Group A leaders Bayern Munich at Istanbul's RAMS Park.

In their opener, second-place Galatasaray were held to a 2-2 home draw with Copenhagen, but then stunned Manchester United 3-2 at Old Trafford on Oct. 3.

Bayern Munich beat Man Utd 4-3 and Copenhagen 2-1 to collect six points in two appearances in the 2023-24 campaign.

The German team's defenders Dayot Upamecano and Raphael Guerreiro, and midfielders Serge Gnabry and Leon Goretzka, both had injuries.

Galatasaray's top scorer Mauro Icardi was also injured in his right ankle at last weekend's derby win over Besiktas.

The Argentine star was confirmed to have a peroneal tendon injury as per MRI scans. His taking part in the Bayern Munich clash is doubtful.

The game will begin at 1645GMT.
