Defenders: Moisander, Toprak (both should be fit in about a week), Veljkovic and Langkamp (both in reha-training), Augustinsson (out for 2-3 months)
Midfielders: Möhwald (out for 6 months). Bargfrede (was out for months) and Maxi Eggestein are just back to the squad after injuries.
Attackers: Füllkrug (out for months), Osako (out for 4-6 weeks), Bartels (out indefinitely; potentially career ending). Rashica just returned back as well.
So 9 currently injured with 3 players coming back after injuries. + Sahin suspended. All first team players as well.
Mostly bad luck as it's all different type of injuries; some long-term as well. We actually even hired an external team of specialists to evaluate it to see if there's something contributing to it potentially but no pattern was found.
Hope Maxi Eggestein and Rashica are fit enough for the starting XI tomorrow. If no one else picks up an injury during the warm up we'll probably start like this:
--------------------Pavlenka
Lang---------TGS------Groß--------Friedl
----------------M. Eggestein
------J. Eggestein---------Klaassen
Rashica--------Sargent----------Bittencourt
The bring on Pizarro and Bargfrede at some point.
