Team News
FC Koln
Fortuna Duesseldorf
- Right-back Jan Thielmann has crossed the yellow card suspension threshold and will miss the game against Fortuna Düsseldorf on Sunday.
- Damion Downs and Leart Paqarada are both in training but aren't deemed fit enough to face Daniel Thioune's side.
- Expect Gerhard Struber to make numerous changes with Max Finkgräfe, Jusuf Gazibegovic and Luca Waldschmidt among those in contention for recalls.
- Dzenan Pejcinovic scored twice from the bench against Hertha Berlin and has surely earned a start in the derby on Sunday.
- Rather than drop the effective Dawid Kownacki, Daniel Thioune could shift to a 4-4-2 system.
- There are no new injury concerns in the Fortuna Düsseldorf camp, but the visitors will once again be without five first-team players.
