Kovac is facing the absence of several key players, including Thomas Muller, who is serving a suspension for a red card that he has received against Ajax. James Rodriguez is the first candidate to take his place in the starting lineup, as the death of the Colombian woman and her creativity will be decisive for the defeat of the Liverpool defense.

In the absence of Arjen Robben, Serge Gnabry is the man of confidence for the right wing, while Kingsley Coman should be left.
