Regarding the game

It seems possible that Undav (infection) could play. Bruun Larsen might be fit enough to make the bench. Also, Al-Dakhil's (thigh strain) return is not guaranteed.

Regarding the game

Tough tasks lie ahead for manager Hasenhüttl, who has to replace both the suspended Maehle and the injured Arnold - Gerhardt could be an option for both roles. Also, the participation of Wind (bilateral thigh problems) is in doubt.
