Bayern Munich head coach Pep Guardiola must consider resting players for Saturday's Bundesliga test against Hannover as his side continue to bid for success across three competitions.
Another fine season continued in midweek as Bayern reached the quarter-finals of the DFB-Pokal with a 2-0 victory over Eintracht Braunschweig to keep their bid for a treble alive.
A tougher challenge will surely follow when Shakhtar Donetsk arrive at the Allianz Arena for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 clash next Wednesday, and with the first game ending goalless in Ukraine, Guardiola will be keen to keep some of his key men fresh.
Leading the Bundesliga by eight points is enough to make them firm favourites for another title, and the likes of Sebastian Rode, Holger Badstuber and Mitchell Weiser could get a chance to shine at the weekend.
Hannover prepare to host the champions low on confidence, with Tayfun Korkut's side still waiting for their first victory of 2015.
That disappointing run of results has seen them lose ground in the race for European qualification, and they head into the weekend just four points above the bottom three.
Lars Stindl will miss out for the hosts following his red card in the draw with Stuttgart last Saturday, which means that either Leonardo Bittencourt or Hiroshi Kiyotake could be handed a starting spot.
