Overview

• BILD reports that new signing Christian Gomis will miss the upcoming game with thigh problems and that Timo Becker is out with an inner‑ligament injury.
• Head coach Miron Muslic said there are “two, three” ways to cover Gomis's absence and explicitly cited Finn Porath as one option.
• Other potential replacements for the role referenced by BILD include Jannik Bachmann and Christopher Antwi‑Adjei.
• Muslic left Becker’s replacement open after naming Mertcan Ayhan or Felipe Sanchez as possibilities in earlier situations.
• Last season’s top scorer Simon Adingra Sylla has only one goal this campaign, with BILD attributing his slump to reported off‑field issues and a failed summer move.
