VfB Stuttgart: Gil Dias and Genki Haraguchi in the squad
Before the cup game against SC Paderborn, there are some question marks at VfB in terms of personnel.
Naouirou Ahamada, who is close to a move to Crystal Palace, will not be there.
Tiago Tomas (torn abdominal muscles) will also be absent.
Silas is injured (hemorrhage on the shin) and his use is therefore still questionable.
Konstantinos Mavropanos is said to be fit to play again after suffering a head injury.
The two new signings Gil Dias and Genki Haraguchi are already in the squad.
VfB coach Bruno Labbadia sees SC Paderborn as the top team in the 2nd Bundesliga
Paderborn/Stuttgart - Actually, VfB Stuttgart currently has other problems than the round of 16 of the DFB Cup, because the Swabians are deep in the Bundesliga relegation battle.
But perhaps the Stuttgarters will be able to gain some courage from the game at second division club SC Paderborn.
But the task in East Westphalia will not be easy and so VfB coach Bruno Labbadia speaks of a "hot challenge".
After all, the SCP is currently fifth in the table and squinting at the promotion places, which prompted Labbadia to praise the opponent: "They are a top team in the second division." Paderborn's coach Lukas Kwasniok can draw on the full staff.
The game will kick off on Tuesday (6 p.m. / Sky).
