- Head coach Xabi Alonso may yield the rotation wand after their Europa League exit against Roma. Patrik Schick is no nearer a return from a niggling groin problem, while Karim Bellarabi has suffered a muscle injury.
- Backup goalkeeper Andrey Lunev has a back injury, while Odilon Kossounou is ruled out for the season with a thigh injury. Robert Andrich suffered a foot fracture and is also ruled out for the rest of the campaign.
- Alassane Plea is available after suspension, but Ramy Bensebaini is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow last weekend.
- Top scorer Marcus Thuram is struggling with a muscle injury, while first-choice goalkeeper Jonas Omlin missed last weekend with a muscle problem, but could return between the sticks.
