Yukinari Sugawara - Suspension served Sugawara has served his one-match suspension and is no longer suspended.

Impact Sugawara had been sent off in the fifth minute of last Saturday's loss to Hoffenheim, effectively ending his domestic season prematurely. The Japanese international will now shift his focus entirely to the World Cup this summer before returning to Southampton ahead of the 2026/27 season. Sugawara ends the season with six assists, 20 chances created and 73 crosses across 31 Bundesliga appearances while on loan from Southampton.

Leonardo Bittencourt - On bench for last game Bittencourt (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's season finale against Dortmund.

Impact Bittencourt returned to the matchday squad for the season finale after manager Daniel Thioune confirmed he would rejoin the group, with the club making it a priority to give the veteran a dignified send-off in a home game against Dortmund, where he also took his first steps. The midfielder has made just five starts in 16 appearances this season, and after the thigh injury, the club opted to ease him back with a bench role rather than throwing him straight into the starting lineup. The coach made clear it was important that Bittencourt not leave through the back door, and his presence in the squad ensures a fitting farewell.
