Kevin Kampl, Dayot Upamecano, Jean-Kevin Augustin and Marcel Halstenberg are all expected to start on Wednesday night after they were rested at the weekend.
Bruma is sidelined after his late withdrawal from their win over Stuttgart at the weekend.

Jupp Heynckes expects Kingsley Coman, Mats Hummels and Javi Martinez will all be fit enough to feature against RB Leipzig on Wednesday.
Thomas Muller, Manuel Neuer James Rodriguez and Frank Ribery will all be missing for the away side because of injury.
Jérôme Boateng, Thiago and Joshua Kimmich are all expected to start on Wednesday after dropping to the bench at the weekend.

This is the first of two fixtures between the sides in the space of four days, with Bayern Munich favourite to come out on top in both matches.
Jupp Heynckes' last match in the competition was the 2012/13 final, which he won. Bayern haven't been knocked out in the second round of the German Cup since 2000 (to Magdeburg on penalties), so the pressure is on the away side here.
Having already beaten Borussia Dortmund away from home this month, Leipzig will fancy their chances of causing another upset here. The last time the two sides faced off at the Red Bull Arena Leipzig, Bayern ran out 5-4 winners. Is there another high scoring game on the cards here?
