Daniel Carvajal has recovered from his ankle injury for Bayer Leverkusen and will start their Bundesliga game against Nuremberg away from home.

The defender picked up the problem during a training session but has recovered his fitness for this afternoon's match.

Nuremberg midfielder Hiroshi Kiyotake has also regained his full fitness after struggling of late with a knee problem. Like Carvajal, Kiyotake also took the knock in training.
