Forward Adam Hlozek sustained a knock to his ankle in the 1-0 league win over Union Berlin at the weekend, while Nathan Tella is a doubt due to a hip issue.
Arthur is also a doubt on fitness grounds. So Jeremie Frimpong would be in line to start on the right side.
Either Patrik Schick or Victor Boniface will start up front.

West Ham team news
The Irons' 2-1 league win over Wolves on Saturday was also not without damage as forward Jarrod Bowen was forced off with a hip injury.
The visitors will also miss goalkeeper Alphonse Areola due to a groin problem, while midfielder Edson Alvarez is suspended.
With Michail Antonio expected to replace Bowen in attack, Vladimir Coufal and Tomas Soucek could be picked ahead of Manchester City loanee Kalvin Phillips in the middle, as West Ham boss David Moyes is likely to switch to three at the back.
West Ham possible XI: Fabianski; Coufal, Zouma, Mavropanos; Johnson, Soucek, Ward-Prowse, Emerson; Kudus, Paqueta; Antonio
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Fabianski, Anang |
| Defenders: | Aguerd, Zouma, Mavropanos, Ogbonna, Palmieri, Cresswell, Coufal, Johnson |
| Midfielders: | Soucek, Phillips, Ward-Prowse, Paqueta, Kudus |
