Hoffenheim manager Sebastian Hoeneß has some current player fitness concerns. Robert Skov (Hamstring Injury), Pavel Kaderabek (Hamstring Injury), Marco John (Corona virus), Ermin Bicakcic (Fitness) and Florian Grillitsch (Corona virus) won’t be making appearances. Diadié Samassékou will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
