Impact Azmoun has been ruled out, and won't be available for Saturday's clash with Bielefeld. Unfortunately with Patrick Schick ruled out this would have been Azmoun's chance to start. With Schick and Azmoun both out it's likely that Lucas Alario will slot into the starting XI.

Odilon Kossounou - Available off bench Kossounou (strain) has returned to training but won't be a starting option Friday, according to manager Gerardo Seoane.
Impact Kossounou is set to return Friday, but the defender won't be making his way back into the starting XI. The defender is a solid fantasy play when starting but isn't worth considering off the bench. Jeremie Frimpong is likely to remain in the starting XI.

Mitchel Bakker - Suspended Friday Bakker is suspended for Friday's trip to Mainz due to yellow card accumulation.
Impact Bakker is suspended for Friday's match and will be sidelined due to the one match suspension. Bakker is a solid fantasy option and is hard to replace for Leverkusen. The next man up should be Jonathan Tah, a very competent defensive replacement, with little fantasy upside.

Lukas Hradecky - Two saves in return Hradecky made two saves and one clearance during Saturday's 4-2 win over Stuttgart.
Impact Hradecky wasn't overly tested during Saturday's win as he made his return from COVID-19. Hradecky is a top option for keepers in the Bundesliga, and looks to have not missed a beat despite his COVID infection. Look for Hradecky to try and return to the clean sheets against Mainz next time out.

Charles Aranguiz - Assists off bench Aranguiz provided one assist off the bench during Saturday's 4-2 win over Stuttgart.
Impact Aranguiz came off the bench for the final 20 minutes of Saturday's 4-2 win. The midfielder made an instant impact, notching his first assist of the season. Aranguiz isn't much of a fantasy option and spends most of his time on the bench. He has some sleeper value if in the starting XI against Mainz next time out.

Kerem Demirbay - Assists Saturday Demirbay provided one assist on three chances created during Saturday's 4-2 win over Stuttgart.
Impact Demirbay earned his second assist of the season, as he looks to turn around a disappointing start to the campaign.

Amine Adli - Scores in rare start Adli scored once on two shots on goal during Saturday's 4-2 win over Stuttgart.
Impact Adli scored on his 10th start of the season, netting in the one-sided rout. The midfielder is a solid fantasy play when in the starting XI and has five goal contributions in just 10 starts. Adli will be an interesting play if starting against Mainz next time out.
