Atletico Madrid
A thigh problem is expected to rule Lars Bender out of Wednesday's match, which could see Wendell feature at left-back for Leverkusen with the Brazilian back from an injury of his own.
Leon Bailey, meanwhile, could also make the XI having returned from a muscular problem at the weekend.
Charles Aranguiz also featured against Gladbach after a spell on the treatment table, but Daley Sinkgraven is still on the sidelines with a foot injury.
It is difficult to determine which way Bosz will go when it comes to team selection, but the likes of Kai Havertz, Kevin Volland and Karim Bellarabi are certainties to feature for the home side.
Bayer Leverkusen possible starting lineup: Hradecky; Weiser, Tah, S Bender, Wendell; Demirbay, Baumgartlinger; Bellarabi, Havertz, Amiri; Volland
Bayer Leverkusen
As for Atletico, defenders Stefan Savic, Sime Vrsaljko and Jose Gimenez are expected to miss out once again, while Joao Felix is still struggling to overcome an ankle problem.
Diego Costa was named on the bench against Sevilla at the weekend but should return, while Thomas Lemar is expected to keep his spot in a wide position.
Injuries mean that the back four is likely to be unchanged, with Koke, Saul Niguez and Thomas Partey lining up further forward for the Spanish giants.
Atletico Madrid possible starting lineup: Oblak; Trippier, Hermoso, Felipe, Lodi; Koke, Thomas, Saul, Lemar; Costa, Morata
Prediction: Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 Atletico Madrid
