Hoffenheim boss Christian Ilzer has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Ozan Kabak (Cruciate ligament tear), Lúkas Petersson (unknown injury), Valentin Gendrey (Adductor injury), Umut Tohumcu (Ankle injury), Alexander Prass (Ill), Anton Stach (Knock), Diadié Samassékou (Muscle injury), Ihlas Bebou (Knee surgery), Grischa Prömel (Cruciate ligament tear), Haris Tabakovic (Inflammation in the knee), Christopher Lenz (Calf injury), Pavel Kaderabek (Knock), Andrej Kramaric (Ankle problems) and Oliver Baumann (Foot injury) will not be playing here.
