VfL Bochum

Barring late injuries, boss Dieter Hecking will likely keep faith with the side that has risen off the bottom of the table and shocked Bayern last week.
Bernardo is suspended after picking up five yellow cards, while Gerrit Holtmann is struggling with a muscle injury.
Maxi Wittek stands by to replace Holtmann on the left, while Felix Passlack could play on the right after recovering from an eye operation.
Eintracht Frankfurt

Eagles Head Coach Dino Toppmöller may rotate with European action in mind.
Toppmöller may opt for two up front so new signing Wahi could come in. If he decides on just one, Can Uzun - and Götze - are both able to play in behind Ekitike.
Kevin Trapp missed the Ajax game with a shin injury, while Timothy Chandler has a thigh problem, while Igor Matanovic has a foot injury.
