Coach Klaus Augenthaler is slowly running out of alternatives at the back, with Callsen-Bracker's fellow centre-back Jens Nowotny still out with a cruciate injury. The 20-year-old, who played nine Bundesliga matches last season, will miss the first leg of Leverkusen's UEFA Cup first-round tie but could return for the second. The draw takes place on 26 August.
