Eljero Elia is questionable for the match this weekend in Wolfsburg. After the Dutchman missed training on Wednesday with a gastro intestinal infection, Elia's situation did not really improve. "He is just lying in bed at the moment that's why it's very questionable if he will be available on Saturday," said head coach Robin Dutt at the press conference Thursday afternoon.

The coach would very much miss his left winger. "It would be very disappointing, especially because he's important in defence as he supports the team in pressing and does a good job with the ball," said Dutt.

As opposed to Elia, the trio of Nils Petersen, Sebastian Prödl and Clemens Fritz were able to train in full Thursday afternoon. "I assume that they will be ready for the roster on the weekend," said Dutt. "Whether or not they can go for a full 90 minutes, we'll have to wait and see." All three starters were spectators in the home match against Schalke mid-week.
