Impact Meunier picked up an issue over the break, but it clearly wasn't major as he's in the starting XI Saturday. Playing time may be a concern, but he's starting, so he's in play for a full 90 in a tough spot against Leverkusen.

Thomas Meunier - Questionable versus Leverkusen Meunier (undisclosed) is in doubt for Saturday's meeting with Bayer Leverkusen. Manager Marco Rose told reporters, "Thomas Meunier came back a bit battered, and is questionable."
Impact Meunier has already missed the first two matches of the season after testing positive for COVID-19 and now is facing another stint on the sidelines. If Meunier does miss out, it would likely mean another appearance in the starting XI at right-back for Felix Passlack.

Mats Hummels - Back at training Hummels (knee) is training with the first team and could be in action versus Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday. Manager Marco Rose told reporters, "Thorgan Hazard (ankle) isn't back in...
Impact If given the all-clear, Hummels could make his first appearance in the starting XI with Axel Witsel relegated to the bench as a result. Given his limited offensive upside, Hummels won't offer much in the way of fantasy value except in formats that value clearances.

Emre Can - Won't play Saturday Can (strain) will not be an option versus Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday as manager Marco Rose told reporters, "Also Emre Can will need a few more days to recover."
Impact Can's only appearance this season came off the bench in a 10-minutes substitute outing. As such, the defender's absence shouldn't impact the starting XI, though ti will no doubt stretch the club's depth given the bevy of injuries on the backline, including Mats Hummels (knee) and Thomas Meunier (undisclosed).

Impact Considering Reyna scored two goals on six shots (three on target) along with registered 10 crosses (three accurate) and nine corners through the first three matches of the year, replacing him on the pitch won't be easy. While Reyna's spot on the left side of the midfield will likely be filled by Julian Brandt, it may fall to Marco Reus to take over as the primary corner taker.
