Borna Sosa is missing from VfB Stuttgart at VfL Wolfsburg, Pascal Stenzel moves into the starting XI
Coach Matarazzo already announced on Thursday (September 29) that Borna Sosa is at risk of being out due to a cold.
As reported by the picture, the Croatian was absent from training on Friday (September 30) and will not be available for the Wolves in Stuttgart.
Instead, Pascal Stenzel will be in the starting XI at VfB Stuttgart.
VfB Stuttgart is worried about Borna Sosa
VfB coach Pellegrino Matarazzo has to worry about Borna Sosa for the game against VfL Wolfsburg.
The left-back came back from the international break with a high temperature and symptoms of a cold and has not been able to train, as Matarazzo announced at the press conference on Thursday.
A corona test at Sosa was negative.
Tanguy Coulibaly could replace him.
Furthermore, Josha Vagnoman (bone edema) is missing from the team.
Josha Vagnoman is probably missing from VfB Stuttgart
The injury worries at VfB Stuttgart are currently limited.
The recently injured Tanguy Coulibaly and Nikolas Nartey should be fully operational again.
However, Josha Vagnoman could be missing, as reported by

Seven VfB players were with the national team
VfB Stuttgart released seven players for international matches.
Hiroki Ito and Wataru Endo played for Japan, Dinos Mavropanos for Greece.
Serhou Guirassy was on duty for Guinea and Borna Sosa wore the Croatia shirt.

VfB Stuttgart against VfL Wolfsburg under pressure
Wolfsburg/Stuttgart – VfB Stuttgart is under pressure before the match at VfL Wolfsburg.
After seven Bundesliga games, the Swabians are still waiting for their first win of the season and are therefore under pressure.
A mental strain that VfB coach Pellegrino Matarazzo is aware of.
That's why he wants to focus on the defensive against the wolves, because that doesn't require self-confidence.
When working against the ball, you don't need "a broad chest to defend passionately, just a work mentality," says the coach.
Last Thursday (September 22nd) Stuttgart passed a successful test.
VfB won 2-1 against Grashopper Zürich after goals from Naouirou Ahamada and Juan José Perea.
Like VfB, VfL Wolfsburg has five meager points after seven games and is in 17th place.
So there is a real basement duel against the table sixteenth from Stuttgart.
