Second division soccer team Karlsruher SC has to play in the away game on Saturday (1.30 p.m. / Sky) at Fortuna Düsseldorf without his regular goalkeeper Marius Gersbeck.
The 26-year-old recently saw the red card in the 2-1 win against Erzgebirge Aue after a foul and was suspended for one game.
For Gersbeck, substitute keeper Markus Kuster will be in goal, coach Christian Eichner has already announced.
Karlsruhe - KSC is driving to Düsseldorf with confidence after the team picked up four points from the last two away games against the promotion candidates Jahn Regensburg (2: 2) and FC Schalke 04 (2: 1).
In addition, hosts Fortuna are still waiting for their first home win this season.
