Stuttgart vs Leverkusen

Stuttgart

Expected lineup

Nübel - Vagnoman, Jeltsch, Chabot, Mittelstädt - Karazor, Stiller - Bruun Larsen, Woltemade, Leweling - Demirovic

Coach

Hoeneß

Bench

Bredlow, Seimen, Al-Dakhil, Hendriks, Jaquez, P. Stenzel, Führich, Keitel, Millot, Rieder, Diehl, Touré, Undav

Absentees

Chase (muscle fiber tear in the adductor area), Drljaca (not considered), Faghir (not considered), Kastanaras (not considered), Nartey (thigh injury), Raimund (setback after thigh injury), Stergiou (red card suspension), Zagadou (lateral ligament injury in the knee)

Risk of suspension

Leweling (4 yellow cards), Mittelstädt (4 yellow cards), Stiller (4 yellow cards), Vagnoman (4 yellow cards)

Regarding the game

Chabot has recovered from his infection and, alongside Jeltsch (after yellow card suspension), Vagnoman will defend in place of Stergiou. As a result, Stiller will move forward again. Up front, Demirovic will probably come in for Undav, and Bruun Larsen could replace Führich.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen

Expected lineup

Kovar - Mukiele, Tah, Hincapie, Arthur - Frimpong, Palacios, G. Xhaka, Grimaldo - Adli, Schick

Coach

Alonso Olano

Bench

Hradecky, Lomb, Tapsoba, Alajbegovic, Aleix Garcia, Andrich, Buendia, Hofmann, Onyeka, Boniface, Sarco, Stepanov, Tella

Absentees

Belocian (cruciate ligament rupture), Hermoso (shoulder injury), Terrier (Achilles tendon rupture), Wirtz (medial ligament injury in the ankle joint)

Risk of suspension

Mukiele (4 yellow cards), Schick (4 yellow cards), Tapsoba (4 yellow cards)

Regarding the game

There are question marks over Tella and Tapsoba (both with muscular problems). If the latter is available, he will defend centrally, Hincapie will move to the left, and Arthur will go to the bench. Hermoso is likely to miss out due to a shoulder injury.
