Van Buyten set to face Juventus despite scare

Bayern Munich’s Belgium defender Daniel van Buyten is expected to face Juventus for Tuesday’s crucial Champions League clash, it was revealed on Saturday.

The 31-year-old took an elbow in the face while contesting a high ball in the second-half of Bayern’s 2-1 win over Borussia Moenchengladbach on Friday night which put Munich third before Saturday’s Bundesliga games.

But Bayern doctor Hans-Wilhelm Mueller-Wohlfahrt expects the centre-back to be able to face Juventus.

“There is no fracture and I am optimistic (he will play),” said Dr Mueller-Wohlfahrt on Bayern’s website.

The former Marseilles and Hamburg defender has scored six goals so far this season in all competitions and Bayern have to win the Group A clash against Juventus in Turin to reach the knock-out stages of the Champions League.
