Regarding the Game:

Captain Karazor (ill) is unlikely to recover in time. Coach Hoeneß has decided on Keitel as a replacement. The game comes too early for Undav and Leweling (both with thigh injuries), and Diehl (also thigh) will also be absent.

Regarding the Game:

If Smith has to miss the game due to his ankle injury during training, Wahl will move to the center and Dzwigala will step into the starting lineup as the right central defender.
