Starting Wednesday
Palhina (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Frankfurt.
ANALYSIS
Palhina was already training in full this week, making it no surprise that he is with the team Wednesday. With 17 starts in 27 appearances between UCL and league play this season, a starting role should remain for the midfielder, especially with Rodrigo Bentancur (hamstring) and Lucas Bergvall (ankle) out.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could join Spurs permanently
Tottenham want to sign Joao Palhinha to a permanent contract, according to TALKSport.
ANALYSIS
Palhinha has enjoyed an excellent start to life at Tottenham and is keen on staying with the club. Bayern would also be open to letting him leave, as he never adjusted to life in Germany. Sounds as if a permanent transfer from Bayern to Spurs would be a move that would satisfy all parties.
