VfB Stuttgart have been dealt a double injury blow ahead of their Bundesliga game away against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday.

As the German outfit announced on Thursday, midfield talisman Angelo Stiller was forced off at half-time of Wednesday's 1-0 win over Paderborn in the DFB-Pokal due to an adductor injury that will keep him out until further notice.

Leo Sauer, who started last week's 2-3 defeat to Borussia Mönchengladbach, is also set for a spell on the sidelines due to a muscle injury suffered in training.

Sitting a disappointing 15th with just six points from seven Bundesliga games, Stuttgart will be hoping to take something from Saturday's clash with Die Werkself at the BayArena.
