In VfB Stuttgart's press conference prior to this Thursday's clash with Celtic, Sebastian Hoeneß provided a personnel update on his squad.

“Angelo Stiller trained without any problems and is available to play. Justin Diehl and Noah Darvich trained with the U-21s.

“Jeff Chabot is suspended due to yellow cards. Currently, only Lazar Jovanovic is unavailable for rehabilitation,” he explained.

Hoeneß kept his cards close to his chest with regards to team selection and refused to get carried away by their 4-1 aggregate lead. 

“Everything we decide means that we will field the best and freshest possible team. We want to win the game tomorrow. 

“We have a good result [from the first-leg in Glasgow], and we are convinced that we can advance to the next round.

“We still have to play the full 90 minutes and anything can happen. We won't underestimate Celtic and want to win the second leg as well,” he added.
