Impact Tillman is unlikely to feature due to an ankle issue but will be assessed after the final training session to determine his availability for Tuesday's return leg against Olympiakos in the Champions League. The attacking midfielder remains a locked-in starter, and his potential absence could be significant given he has scored six goals across 26 appearances in all competitions this season. Ernest Poku is likely to take on a larger role if Tillman is unable to play.

Impact Flekken is set to miss the next four weeks due to the knee injury he sustained last month. The goalkeeper had been a locked-in starter prior to his setback, but recent performances from Janis Blaswich could create uncertainty in the pecking order, making a rushed return unlikely.

Malik Tillman - Doutbful against Olympiacos Tillman (ankle) is a doubt for Tuesday's clash against Olympiacos in the Champions League, according to BILD.

Impact Tillman picked up an ankle knock in a challenge with Stanley Nsoki during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Union Berlin and is now a doubt for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Olympiacos. The midfielder is trending toward a late fitness test, and the club will be pushing to get him ready given his status as a regular starter for the Werkself. If he's unable to suit up, Ernest Poku would be in line for an expanded role up top.

Loic Bade - Out a few weeks Bade is out for the next few weeks due to a thigh injury, according to his club.

Impact Bade will not be an option for the next three to four weeks, as the defender is suffering from a thigh injury. This is a rough loss for the club, as he started in their last outing and has started in 16 of their 19 league games this season. This will leave the club to have Edmond Tapsoba and Jarell Quansah to start in the defense, with Axel Tape as the next man up moving forward.

Leipzig's Champions League hopes hit by 2-2 draw with lowly Wolfsburg in Bundesliga

Leipzig’s Champions League hopes have taken a blow in a 2-2 draw with lowly Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga

FEBRUARY 15 • Associated Press

Jonas Hofmann - Assists off the bench Hofmann assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 4-0 win over FC St. Pauli.

Impact Hofmann made the most of his chance off the bench with a late assist in Leverkusen's comfortable win. He's unlikely to see action in UCL play against Olympiacos unless there's an injury but if he does see the field, he has a decent chance to make an impact as Olympiacos gave up 14 goals during eight UCL league phase games.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Vazquez - Gets an assist Vazquez assisted once to go with two crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 4-0 victory versus FC St. Pauli.

Impact The midfielder was credited with an assist in the win, and Vazquez was accurate with his limited service. He will be involved in the offense heavily once again on Wednesday against Olympiacos in UCL playoff action and the matchup is favorable. Olympiacos allowed 14 goals in eight league phase games in UCL play.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Aleix Garcia - Tallies assist Garcia assisted once to go with seven crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 4-0 victory against FC St. Pauli.

Impact Garcia was bound to come away with at least one assist given his level of service and he did just that. The midfielder should deliver similar results if he keeps this volume up in UCL playoff action on Wednesday against Olympiacos.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Edmond Tapsoba - Nets goal Tapsoba scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 4-0 victory versus FC St. Pauli.

Impact Tapsoba scored on his only shot of the contest but it's his second goal in the last seven Bundesliga games. That's a decent clip for a defender and shows Tapsoba could continue being involved in the attack when Bayer Leverkusen meets Olympiacos on Wednesday as the UCL playoff round begins.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Jarell Quansah - Scores on lone shot Quansah scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 4-0 victory versus FC St. Pauli.

Impact Quansah made the most of his limited opportunities, putting a goal in the back of the net to give Leverkusen the 1-0 lead. The defender could have similar success against an Olympiacos side that gave up 14 goals during the UCL league phase.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Patrik Schick - Scores before being subbed off Schick scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 4-0 victory over FC St. Pauli.

Impact The forward added another goal to his tally but did get some nice rest ahead of a UCL playoff match against Olympiacos. The Greek side conceded 14 times in the UCL league phase, so Schick should be a factor in that contest in the final third.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Ernest Poku - Goal, assist in win Poku scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Saturday's 4-0 victory against FC St. Pauli.

Impact Poku was a star offensively, registering a goal and an assist in an easy win for Leverkusen. He should continue having success when the side meets Olympiacos in the UCL playoffs, as Olympiacos allowed 14 goals during the league phase.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Janis Blaswich - Keeps clean sheet Blaswich made one save and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 4-0 victory versus FC St. Pauli.

Impact Blaswich only had to make one save as Leverkusen kept St. Pauli at bay for most of the game. He'll try to maintain this form in the first UCL playoff leg against Olympiacos, a side which did score 10 goals in the UCL group phase.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Ibrahim Maza - Finds starting role Maza (knee) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against St. Pauli.

Impact Maza finds a place in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against St. Pauli after returning to full fitness following persistent training this week. The attacking midfielder ends a two-game absence and comes straight back into the lineup after having started in his previous three appearances. He will look to build on his tally of two goals and two assists in 14 appearances (eight starts).
