Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - With Michael Wimmer on the coaching bench, but without goalkeeper Florian Müller and defender Waldemar Anton, VfB Stuttgart is playing its second round match in the DFB Cup against Arminia Bielefeld. Since the search for a successor to the released Pellegrino Matarazzo is dragging on, interim coach Wimmer will also look after the team on Wednesday evening (8.45 p.m. / Sky).
Fabian Bredlow will again be between the posts in the cup. Müller is ailing, but would not have played anyway due to an agreement. Central defender Anton has been suspended due to a suspension and Dan-Axel Zagadou and Konstantinos Mavropanos are also in danger of being left behind on defence. Despite the personal worries, VfB are the favorites in the duel with the bottom of the second division.
