The long-term injured Sacha Boey (torn meniscus) and Josip Stanisic (torn lateral ligament in the right knee) will definitely be missing against Stuttgart. Vincent Kompany also announced in the press conference before the game that Jamal Musiala would also be missing against VfB due to injury. Hiroki Ito could be back in the squad after breaking his metatarsal. Dayot Upamecano’s appearance is also questionable due to a strain. Otherwise, coach Vincent Kompany has access to a large squad.

The back four in front of Manuel Neuer will probably be Raphael Guerreiro, Dayot Upamecano, Min-jae Kim and Alphonso Davies. If Upamecano does not get fit, Leon Goretzka or Eric Dier could take over his role in central defense. Before that, there is probably no way around Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlovic. The offensive will probably consist of wingers Michael Olise, Serge Gnabry and center forward Harry Kane. Thomas Müller is also expected to replace the injured Musiala again.

• Neuer – Guerreiro, Upamecano, M.-J. Kim, Davies – Kimmich, Pavlovic – Olise, Müller, Gnabry – Kane

The Swabians’ injury list is a little longer. Justin Diehl (shoulder dislocation), Chris Führich (torn hamstring), Luca Raimund (muscle injury), Leonidas Stergiou (lack of training) and Dan-Axel Zagadou (lateral knee ligament injury).

Instead of Josh Vagnoman, Sebastian Hoeneß could also choose Anrie Chase or Pascal Stenzel. Up front, Enzo Millot (3 goals), Deniz Undav (4 goals), DFB debutant Jamie Leweling (1 goal) and Ermedin Demirovic (5 goals) should provide goal threat.

• Nübel – Vagnoman, Rouault, Chabot, Mittelstädt – Karazor, Stiller – Millot, Undav, Leweling – Demirovic
