- Deniz Undav and Ermedin Demirovic are seen as key players for VfB Stuttgart's offensive capabilities. However, coach Sebastian Hoeneß remains uncertain about whether they will start together in the Supercup against Bayer Leverkusen. The preparation period has been positive with low injury rates and the return of players in rehabilitation.
- Hoeneß expressed optimism for the season's start, although some players returning from international duty still have some catching up to do. He highlighted that the team has made progress during training, but it remains unclear where they stand against their upcoming challenges. The recent 4:0 victory against Bilbao was encouraging, but Hoeneß desires more competitive resistance from opponents.
- Last season, Stuttgart managed to perform well against Bayer Leverkusen but did not secure a victory. Hoeneß is confident that the new season and new players present a chance for a win. He views the upcoming match as an opportunity to claim a title, while also emphasizing the greater significance of the Bundesliga opener.
- The lineup for the match against Leverkusen is still uncertain. Hoeneß noted that all players, except the injured Leonidas Stergiou, are available, and returnees like Enzo Millot might feature in the starting eleven. He stressed the importance of the match and the need to manage player workloads appropriately.
