Draxler missed Thursday's 9-0 victory over Liechtenstein due to an muscle injury and will not be fit in time for Sunday's game.
Leon Goretzka suffered a bruise to his head/neck area, and while Germany coach Hansi Flick initially said that he expected the Bayern midfielder to make the trip, he will not be available.
Meanwhile, Antonio Rüdiger will miss the game due to suspension while Neuer and Reus won't travel due to workload management.
Germany already have to manage without Niklas Süle, Joshua Kimmich, Karim Adeyemi, Serge Gnabry and Jamal Musiala (all quarantined) as well as Florian Wirtz and Nico Schlotterbeck (injuries).
