VfL Wolfsburg can fall back on captain Josuha Guilavogui in the Champions League game at FC Sevilla.
The 31-year-old defender got over his calf injury in time and is available for the Bundesliga club on Tuesday evening (9 p.m. / Amazon Prime) in Andalusia.
Paulo Otavio, who was replaced early on Saturday in Bielefeld, will definitely be in the squad.
Wolfsburg - Goalkeeper Koen Casteels, who tested positive for the corona virus, will be absent.
For the Belgian, Pavao Pervan will be between the posts.
“If our captain is absent at short notice, then that's nothing to be happy about, we don't have to lie.
But I have no doubts about Pavao and I am sure that we will have a very good goalkeeper in goal tomorrow, ”said Wolfsburg coach Florian Kohfeldt.
For VfL Wolfsburg, everything is still possible in Group G after four match days.
With a record of one win, one defeat and two draws, Lower Saxony are currently in third place.
Most recently there was a 2-1 win against RB Salzburg.
"The win has significantly improved our situation," said Kohfeldt, for whom it is the first away game in the premier class in his career.

"We don't have the best starting position, but a good one," said Kohfeldt.
"If we want to overwinter in the Champions League, then we should take something with us tomorrow," said the VfL coach.
But even a defeat by the six-time Europa League champion would not mean the end of the game.
