FC Heidenheim
Heidenheim suffered a significant injury blow during their loss at Bayer Leverkusen on the weekend, with leading goalscorer Marvin Pieringer now sidelined until early February due to an Achilles tendon issue.
The four-goal forward joins long-term absentee Luka Jens in the medical room, with the 20-year-old yet to feature in a competitive sense this season because of a shoulder injury.
FCH have a number of other players who have not kicked a ball so far in 2024-25 because of their respective fitness problems, including midfielders Thomas Leon Keller and Julian Niehues.
Heidenheim possible starting lineup:
Muller; Traore, Manika, Gimber, Fohrenbach; Dorsch, Maloney, Schoppner; Conteh, Honsak, Wanner
Chelsea
After missing the success at Leicester on Saturday, Pedro Neto is battling to be fit for Thursday's trip to Germany, with the Chelsea winger suffering a minor knock whilst on Portugal duty earlier this month.
Reece James has recently suffered another hamstring strain and the Blues are now waiting nervously for the results of a scan on the area, meaning that the injury-plagued Englishman faces a further spell on the Stamford Bridge sidelines.
Maresca's options at right-back could be reduced even further based on the availability of Malo Gusto, who sat out of the Leicester win due to illness.
With a packed schedule planned between now and the New Year, expect Chelsea to make their usual Conference League changes, resulting in the likes of Tosin Adarabioyo, Axel Disasi and Renato Veiga earning starts.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Jorgensen; Disasi, Badiashile, Adarabioyo, Veiga; Caicedo, George, Nkunku, Felix, Mudryk; Guiu
Prediction: Heidenheim 1-3 Chelsea
