- Niklas Tauer picked up an injury during the 1-0 defeat to Eintracht Braunschweig and will miss the visit of Holstein Kiel, so expect Henning Matriciani to play out of position on the right here.
- Kenan Karaman an Dominick Drexler also picked up injuries, meaning there could be starts on the cards for Soichiro Kozuki and Assan Ouedraogo.
- Marcel Rapp could make two changes ahead of Friday evening's game with Lewis Holtby and Holmbert Fridjonsson both starting.
- Carl Johansson and Timo Becker both missed the visit of Magdeburg and remain sidelined for the trip to the VELTINS-Arena.
