Timo Baumgartl replaces Marvin Friedrich, who is infected with the coronavirus, in the away game of the Europa Conference League at Feyenoord Rotterdam at 1. FC Union Berlin.
As can be seen from the line-ups, the defender is in the starting line-up on Thursday, as is captain Christopher Trimmel.
The Austrian had recently been given a break and now ousted the Norwegian Julian Ryerson again.
Rotterdam - In the third group game, coach Urs Fischer also relies on the offensive duo Max Kruse and Taiwo Awoniyi.
In goal, regular goalkeeper Andreas Luthe gets the confidence after Frederik Rönnow was between the posts against Maccabi Haifa (3-0).
