Bayer Leverkusen

Vazquez (strain) is nearing a return and is improving day by day in training, coach Kasper Hjulmand said in a press conference, according to Werkself Xtra. "Lucas [Vazquez] is suspended for [today's] game because of the red card in Spain. So he can't play today. But he's also looking better and better. He's training, and it's improving day by day."

Tillman (hamstring) is expected to return next week and is more likely to make his comeback for the Champions League clash against Benfica, coach Kasper Hjulmand said in a press conference, according to Werkself Xtra. "Malik [Tillman] will return next week. Maybe too late for the Bayern game, but we think Benfica could be possible."

Tella (knee) is aiming a return after the next international break since the injury was more difficult than expected, coach Kasper Hjulmand said in a press conference, according to Werkself Xtra. "With [Nathan] Tella, [the injury] was more difficult and complicated than we first thought. I think he'll need the international break as well. It's looking better and better, but I can't say when [he'll return] exactly."

Fernandez is out for the time being due to a knee ligament injury, according to his club.

Fernandez was forced off in the second half of Sunday's 2-0 win over Freiburg.
