Speaking ahead of their clash with Maccabi Tel Aviv tomorrow, VfB Stuttgart's Sebastian Hoeneß provided an update on his squad availability. 

"Most things are known. Ermedin Demirovic and Yannik Keitel are recovering. Daxo [Zagadou] and Luca Jaquez are in rehab.

“Plus, Jeff Chabot is suspended due to yellow cards,” explained the Swabians' head coach in his press conference.

Hoeneß continued by discussing the permutations of the Europa League table and what to expect against their Israeli opponents.

"We have a very important match. With a win, the likelihood is very high that we'll stay in the competition with 12 points.

"They're [Maccabi] a team that wants to play football. They're capable of causing us real problems. It's the Europa League.

“They'll be a team that will demand everything from us again. It's all about performance, not pre-match talk,” Hoeneß added.
