Jeanuel Belocian could return from a long-term knee injury, while Jonas Hofmann is almost certain to miss out as he has yet to recover from a hamstring injury. The 33-year-old midfielder has not played since the end of last season.
On Eintracht Frankfurt's side, goalkeeper Kaua Santos is still absent, so Michael Zetterer continues to start after being trusted in all matches since the beginning of the season.

Latest football commentary on Bayer Leverkusen vs Frankfurt
Bayer Leverkusen shocked the football world in early September when they decided to sack coach Erik ten Hag, just two months after he was appointed.
The Dutchman has been in charge of the team for just three competitive games – including a 4-0 win over a fourth-tier side in the German Cup and a 3-3 draw with Werder Bremen just before the international break.
Ten Hag's early dismissal set a Bundesliga record, with the former Manchester United manager becoming the first to lose his job after just two league games.
German media revealed a series of problems within Leverkusen, from loss of confidence to unbelievable reasons such as players showing dissatisfaction because they had to do push-ups.
The replacement is Hjulmand, the former Denmark coach who left his post more than a year ago. He has just signed a two-year contract with the aim of reviving the atmosphere at the club.
The challenge is not easy for Hjulmand as Leverkusen have a tough series of matches ahead between now and the next international break.
Friday's match is seen as one of those big challenges, with opponents Eintracht Frankfurt looking increasingly strong and particularly impressive this season.
Dino Toppmoller's side started the campaign with a 5-0 win over Engers in the German Cup. In the Bundesliga, they went on to beat Werder Bremen 4-1 and Hoffenheim 3-1.
Frankfurt showed that scoring goals is not a problem, as last season they were only behind three teams in terms of goals scored: Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Leverkusen themselves.
The Eagles are looking ahead to their Champions League opener against Galatasaray, but they will want to maintain their high spirits when they face a troubled Leverkusen side.
The Frankfurt team is also determined to end a streak of 11 consecutive losses to Leverkusen in official tournaments.
