- Striker Mikail Ishak failed to make an impact against Bielefeld and could be replaced by Michael Frey for the visit of Greuther Fuerth.
- Jens Keller has four confirmed absentees with Lukas Muhl, Patric Klandt, Fabian Nurenberger and Paul-Philipp Besong all sidelined.
- Midfielder Andreas Lukse is nursing a muscle injury and remains a doubt for Saturday's clash.
- Stefan Leitl could make two changes to the midfield that faced Dynamo Dresden in midweek with midfielders Jamie Leweling and Julian Green both in contention for recalls.
- Daniel Keita-Ruel has scored in back-to-back games and will lead the line once again on Saturday afternoon.
