Marcelo Saracchi is recovering from an ACL injury, while Marcel Halstenberg has an ankle injury. Youngster Josko Gvardiol has signed from Dynamo Zagreb and could keep out ex-Manchester City man Angelino. Brian Brobbey will compete with Andre Silva up front, but the latter will win that battle, despite being short of goals after his summer move from Eintracht Frankfurt. Mohamed Simakan has signed from Strasbourg in France and has been impressive in defence so far. Lukas Klünter needs an operation and will be out for several weeks. Krzysztof Piatek is nearing a return from an ankle injury, while Marvin Plattenhardt has returned to training. Dedryck Boyata is out with a thigh injury and new signing Myziane Maolida from Nice also remains a doubt. Jurgen Ekkelenkamp scored on his home debut 87 seconds after coming on as a substitute against Fuerth and could start here. Stevan Jovetic is nearing a return from a calf injury but is likely to be out for at least another week. Denmark U21 goalkeeper Oliver Christensen has been signed from Odense BK to provide competition between the sticks. Another keeper, Rune Jarstein, will be eased back after a heart issue.
