Jerome Boateng (Hamstring) and Sinaly Diomande (ankle) are still missing for the visitors and should not return later this month.
Rayan Cherki (broken ankle) and Lenny Pintor (ACL) are on the sidelines for the foreseeable future, which could mean Bosz once again calls for an unchanged lineup.
For Porto, Otavio is suspended for this match, Wilson Manafa and Wendell (both muscle) are both still out of hand for the Portuguese champion.
With the demise of their right wing, we do not expect much change from the visitors.
