At the moment, it looks like both Adam Hlozek and Borja Iglesias will be able to return to full training at the start of next week. We'll then make a decision for the game in Rome on Thursday in the coming days.
It's normal for players to be suspended for yellow card accumulation now and then. We have plenty of options in this position, though. It's important that we play our game and produce a good performance.
They've been one of the best teams in Europe this season. They're flexible, brave and aggressive. I like their approach. It's going to be a top game!

Sebastian Hoeness
Manager on Stuttgart…ENZO
Enzo has shown good performances in the position several times this season.He is a similar type of player to Angelo and has a high impact on his team’s game. But I think the team is stable even without him.
…MOTIVATION
Your motivation to continue the series will certainly be high. But we were there until the end in the two games against them and we want to take the game in the right direction this time. To do this, we have to have the same courage that we showed against them and be prepared to go to the extreme to achieve our big goal. We want to get clear processes in our game and not change so much. Instead, we try to create greater alertness and focus.
...INJURY REPORT
Anthony feels in good physical shape. Last week we only had him with us for extreme emergencies, this time he is again an option for the starting eleven. The long-term injured Dan-Axel Zagadou, Niko Nartey, Josha Vagnoman, Li Egloff and Roberto Massimo, who was not with the team this week due to muscular problems are definitely still missing could train.
