Head coach Niko Kovac announced that Nico Schlotterbeck will miss the game due to a muscle injury.
He will join captain Emre Can on the sidelines, who is also out with a groin injury expected to keep him unavailable until at least the end of February.
Niklas Sule is still recovering from a thigh injury sustained earlier this month, and Filippo Mane is also sidelined due to a muscle issue.
Given these defensive absences, 18-year-old Luca Reggiani is set to start alongside Waldemar Anton and Ramy Bensebaini in defense.
On a positive note, Marcel Sabitzer is back to full fitness and likely to start with Felix Nmecha after coming off the bench last weekend.
