VfL Wolfsburg coach Dieter Hecking will weigh up whether to include defenders Robin Knoche and Christian Träsch in his starting line-up for the encounter against 1. FSV Mainz 05. The 52-year-old tactician is also considering his options on the left, with Julian Draxler and Daniel Caligiuri both vying for a starting slot. Fresh from their maiden UEFA Europa League win against Qäbälä FK, injury-plagued Mainz hope to at least have France Under-21 defender Jean-Philippe Gbamin fit again for the trip to Lower Saxony.
