In the first division duel with 1. FC Köln and without regular goalkeeper Florian Müller, VfB Stuttgart wants to make it into the second round of the DFB Cup today (8.45 p.m. / Sky).
For Müller, who is not yet ready for action again after his positive Corona test, Fabian Bredlow will be in goal again.
It was still questionable whether head of defense Waldemar Anton and wingers Roberto Massimo and Erik Thommy are ready to go again after their corona infections.
Stuttgart - Omar Marmoush is injured and not available.
VfB assumed around 25,000 spectators for the cup game.
