Gokhan Tore continues to be sidelined for HSV following a meniscus tear, meaning that Jacopo Sala will feature on the right wing. Lam Zhi Gin (calf), Per Skjelbred (shin) and Marcus Berg (fitness) are also ruled out, leaving Thorsten Fink rather short of depth.

The trainer will have at least one tactical headache to overcome in the lead-up to the game, as he faces the decision to use either Slobodan Rajkovic or Jeffrey Bruma in defence alongside Heiko Westermann.

With Rafinha suspended and Daniel van Buyten and Diego Contento injured, Jupp Heynckes will have very few options in defence.

The coach is expected to keep Jerome Boateng in the centre, with Anatoliy Tymoshchuk filling in for Rafinha on the right. Alternatively, Heynckes could use either Breno or Luiz Gustavo in central defence, with Boateng at right-back.
