Copenhagen team news

Injured during the qualifying playoff match against Basel, midfielder Magnus Mattsson could even miss the remainder of the season due to a knee injury.

Additionally, youngster Oliver Hojer is still recovering from surgery, and Jonathan Moalem is ruled out with a hip injury.

Bayer Leverkusen team news

Kasper Hjulmand has been appointed as the new boss, who now has to deal with the absence of Exequiel Palacios due to an adductor injury sustained in the recent league win against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Aleix Garcia is a strong contender to replace Palacios, while Patrik Schick is expected to spearhead the attack.
