Niko Kovac’s squad remains largely stable, although several key players are sidelined. Captain Emre Can (groin), winger Julien Duranville (shoulder), and centre-back Aaron Anselmino (muscle) are all out but are expected to rejoin the team after the international break.

Kovac has also hinted that a final decision regarding Serhou Guirassy’s involvement is pending, after his recent return from injury; Fabio Silva is on standby as an alternative strike option.

Julian Brandt returned to the pitch with a goal off the bench following a minor wrist injury in September, while Nico Schlotterbeck has played back-to-back games following his recovery from a serious knee injury.
