    Union Berlin
    • New signing Marin Ljubicic and Andrej Ilic are options up front, while Hollerbach, Jeong and Benes are competing for an attacking midfield spot.
    • Robert Skov is also struggling with a foot injury, so Tom Rothe could slot in at left-back.
    • Aljoscha Kemlein has undergone surgery on his foot and will miss the rest of the season, while Oluwaseun Ogbemudia is working his way back to full fitness in training.
    Bayern Munich
    • Head Coach Vincent Kompany may take the opportunity to rotate again after their Champions League success in Leverkusen.
    • Manuel Neuer suffered a muscle tear and is ruled out until the international break. New signing Jonas Urbig is likely to continue as back-up Daniel Peretz is on his way back from a bruised kidney.
    • Aleksandar Pavlovic is struggling to shake off glandular fever, while Joao Paulinha is suspended for one game after his red card last weekend.
    • Eric Dier has never let anyone down in his Bayern career so far and is good option in central defence, if either of Kim and Upamecano are rested. Hiroki Ito is also fit.
    • Kingsley Coman picked up a knock in midweek, Harry Kane has a calf issue which needs monitoring. Serge Gnabry is most likely to step in up front if the England captain is rested, but Musiala and Olise would be other options.
