Remains unavailable Paulinho (illness) will miss out against Koln on Wednesday.

Impact Considering Paulinho has started just once in his last five appearances, he should be considered a long shot to make the starting XI even once cleared to play. Without a clear path to consistent minutes, Paulinho shouldn't be expected to offer more than low-end fantasy value.

Two shots off bench in win Paulinho had two shots on goal and two foul committed afert coming off the bench during Saturday's 1-0 win over Egypt.
