Suspension served
Vinicius has served his one-match suspension and is available for Monday's second leg against Paderborn.
Analysis: Vinicius had been forced to sit out Thursday's first leg after picking up his fifth yellow card during the St. Pauli fixture, with Wolfsburg managing without one of their key midfield contributors for such a high-stakes relegation playoff opener. His return for the second leg is a timely boost for the Wolves as they look to secure their Bundesliga survival in what promises to be a decisive fixture.
Suspended for Thursday's first leg
Vinicius (suspension) is ruled out for Thursday's relegation first leg playoff opener.
Analysis: Vinicius picked up his fifth yellow card of the season during Wolfsburg's match against St. Pauli, triggering an automatic one-match ban that will sideline him for the first leg of the relegation playoff first leg Thursday. The midfielder's absence is a significant blow for the Wolves heading into such a high-stakes fixture, with their opponent yet to be determined as Elversberg, Hannover 96 and Paderborn are still battling for both direct promotion and the playoff spot heading into the final round of matches.
