Defender Dylan Leonard was not in training on Wednesday morning. The young Australian will feature for the club’s U23 side in the fourth division against Sportfreunde Lotte in the evening to pick up some valuable match practice.

Adil Aouchiche only completed parts of the session. Kenan Karaman, who missed the last match due to a yellow-card suspension, and Moussa Ndiaye, whose ban for his red card has been overturned by the DFB Sports Court, both trained individually.

Edin Džeko (shoulder) and Nikola Katic (knee) are continuing with their individual rehabilitation and treatment programmes following their injuries.
