Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez reported a thigh problem following his outing for Mexico in a World Cup qualifier against Costa Rica. His 46th goal for his country in that match saw Chicharito draw level with Jared Borgetti as Mexico’s joint-record goalscorer, and despite playing against Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday with the injury he could be doubtful for Sunday.

A toe injury saw Julian Baumgartlinger drop out of Austria’s squad for the friendly against Finland on Tuesday. The 29-year-old returned to Leverkusen early, and coach Tayfun Korkut will hope the late Sunday afternoon kick-off will give the midfielder enough time to recover.

Watch: Highlights of Leverkusen's 1-0 defeat at Hoffenheim on MD25:

Andries Jonker has goalkeeper Diego Benaglio available for the first time since he took over at the Volkswagen Arena, with the Swiss stopper, who played in a friendly against DSC Arminina Bielefeld during the international break, having recovered from a hip problem. But Koen Casteels has only conceded once in Jonkers’ three games in charge so far, and has a strong case for remaining between the sticks.

Mario Gomez shook off an adductor issue to score in Germany’s 4-1 World Cup qualifier win over Azerbaijan on Sunday and should be in shape for the clash with Leverkusen a full week later.
