Leverkusen midfielder Ibrahim Maza is a major doubt after missing the final training session with an infection. Coach Carles Martínez said a late decision would be made, but Malik Tillman is expected to replace him if he is unavailable.
Nathan Tella remains sidelined with a back or muscular problem and is not expected to return until October. Montrell Culbreath is recovering from a foot injury, while 17-year-old midfielder Kennet Eichhorn remains unavailable because of a mitochondrial disorder. Mark Flekken has been confirmed as the starting goalkeeper, and Schick is likely to return to the starting eleven after scoring from the bench against Augsburg.
Celje will be without midfielder Andrej Kotnik, who is suspended following a red card, while Jošt Pišek is sidelined with a knee injury. Papa Daniel and Mark Zabukovnik are expected to form the central midfield partnership, with Svit Sešlar operating in the number 10 role. Zeljković could also recall goalkeeper Žan-Luk Leban and defenders Pijus Širvys and Artemijus Tutyškinas after they were rested against Bravo.
Bayer Leverkusen: Flekken; Quansah, Tapsoba, Medina, Gutiérrez; Equi Fernández, Aleix García; Diaby, Tillman, Moreira; Schick.
Celje: Leban; Širvys, Hrka, Tutyškinas, Avdyli; Papa Daniel, Zabukovnik; Dukuly, Sešlar, Kvesić; Kučys.
