VfL Bochum

Ivan Ordets and Matus Bero are both available after suspension, but Ibrahima Sissoko is on the naughty step after his late dismissal last weekend. Mats Pannewig or veteran Anthony Losilla could slot into midfield.

Josip Juranovic is strugging with a knock, with Tom Rothe able to slot in either side.
