FC Heidenheim coach Frank Schmidt is optimistic that Paul Wanner will be fit to face Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

The 18-year-old Bayern Munich loanee picked up a knock while on international duty with Germany's Under-21s, but it is not expected to keep him out of the game.

"I'm assuming he'll be available in Leverkusen," Schmidt told reporters on Thursday.

Marnon Busch and Julian Niehues, on the other hand, will definitely miss the game.

Heidenheim sit 14th ahead of the game against the fourth-placed German champions.
