Lars Dietz has injured himself in the test against Paderborn and thus lacks eight to twelve weeks. Also Danny Breitfelder falls out even longer time. The use of Tino Schmidt against the lions is very questionable after a knee injury. Left-back Sascha Härtel and striker Toni Jovic were tested during the non-play time and got a contract.
