Fortuna Duesseldorf
- Marcus Feulner returns from suspension to start on the bench.
- Sebastian Polter and Tomas Pekhart compete for the lone spot up front.
- Hiroshi Kiyotake is doubtful with flu.
- Manager Hecking could field an unchanged team again.
- Starting centre-backs Jens Langeneke and Stelios Malezas could both return to the squad from injury, but it remains to be seen if they are fit enough to play yet.
- Tobias Level returns from injury as well, but Leon Balogun should keep his place in the starting line-up after impressive performances in the last two games.
- Stefan Reisinger and Ronny Garbuschewski compete for the spot on the right wing.
- Nando Rafael is an option to start up front, if Robbie Kruse can't recover from injury in time.
