It’s a full debut for Haksabanovic, with Abada and Maeda missing out.

Carl Starfelt misses out with injury, with Moritz Jenz handed another chance to impress. It’s a big game for the defender, who’ll have to show a strong defensive performance to keep the opposition at bay.

Kyogo regains his place in the side after he stated on the bench against Real Madrid.
