    Frank discussed rotation in his pre-match presser, saying that "four/five [changes] are too much but one is [not enough]" and that the "team that has done well" ought to be rewarded. Jansson will come in for Zanka if passed fit, while Vitaly Janelt has one of the strongest chances of a recall - either as a central midfielder at the expense of Josh Dasilva or as a third centre-half.

    Dasilva may not feature from the start.
