Augsburg preview: No injury concerns for Sandro Wagner
Wagner was able to field a full-strength team against Stuttgart before the international break. They gave a good account of themselves by scoring two on the day, but still fell short. The manager must rally his troops for this one, especially in front of their home fans.
