Bayer Leverkusen vs Union Saint-Gilloise Team News :
Kerem Demirbay, Nadiem Amiri, Patrik Schick, Andrey Lunev, and Charles Aranguiz appear to be out with injuries for Leverkusen. Alonso will also be concerned about the fitness of Piero Hincapie (hip) and Adam Hlozek (illness).
During Leverkusen’s weekend 3-1 victory over Frankfurt, Hincapie was substituted out late on, and Hlozek did not play at all. Should the previous pass up a great opportunity as would appear to be possible given the short circle back between installations, Mitchel Bakker is probably going to be liked by Daley Sinkgraven at left wing-back.
Azmoun could supplant Adli in the assault, in the meantime, with Jeremie Frimpong proceeding to give the heft of the hosts’ width from his entering job down the right flank. Union SG, on the other hand, might go to Germany with a fully-fit team, so Geraerts might be able to pick the starting lineup he thinks is the best.
The 20-time Belgium international used a 3-5-2 system in the previous round, so it seems likely that he will continue using it to roughly match Alonso’s preferred system at Leverkusen. As a result, Victor Boniface and Simon Adingra would form a dangerous attack team with the goal of striking their more daring opponents in transition as quickly and frequently as possible.
