Elvis Rexhbecaj and Felix Uduokhai were sidelined with muscle injuries, with Niklas Dorsch and Iago coming into the starting line-up in their place. This was Dorsch’s first start of the season, as the midfielder had been out for a long time through injury himself.

There was one change on the bench, with Agustín Rogel returning to the matchday squad having overcome a knee injury and Pascal Klemens dropping out.
