Team News VfB Stuttgart
- Out: Justin Diehl (thigh), Malanga (abdominals), Dan-Axel Zagadou (hamstring — note that Sports Mole list him as a doubt rather than out, a conflict to flag).
- Doubt: Josha Vagnoman (knock, forced off vs Atletico), Ameen Al-Dakhil (knee), Tiago Tomas (muscular).
Possible VfB Stuttgart XI (4-2-3-1, per Sports Mole, 22 Oct): Seimen; Assignon, Jeltsch, Chabot, Mittelstadt; Karazor, Stiller; Leweling, Undav, Fuhrich; Demirovic. Note: bundesliga.com’s 19 Oct variant has Vagnoman/Hendriks at full-back, but Vagnoman is a doubt, so the Sports Mole XI is preferred.
Team News Borussia Mönchengladbach
- Out: Tim Kleindienst (muscular), Fritz Fleck (muscular), Enzo Leopold (knee), Jan Leszczynski (knee), Jens Castrop (shoulder — back in training Tuesday, availability unclear, a conflict to flag).
- Doubt: Franck Honorat (muscular), Nicolas Kuhn (muscular), Isac Lidberg (thigh), Ko Itakura (muscular).
Possible Borussia Mönchengladbach XI: Nicolas; Sander, Diks, Chiarodia, Ullrich; Scally, Neuhaus, Uno, Mohya; Bolin, Machino. Note: bundesliga.com’s variant has Kuhn for Bolin in a 4-3-3, but Kuhn is a muscular doubt.
