Peter Bosz has chosen the Serbian left-back as a replacement for Júnior, who is absent due to a red card received in the previous European season. Paul Wanner will play in midfield instead of the young Noah Fernández. The rest of the lineup is largely unchanged, with few surprises in the Eindhoven team.
The absence of Júnior is due to a red card he received in the injury time against Bayern München, which resulted in a win for the Germans and eliminated Bosz's team in the group stage. Bosz has chosen Kostic as a left-back on Thursday in his own house, with the summer signing set to make his debut in the red and white.
The PSV lineup for Thursday's match is: Kovár; Dest, Geertruida, Obispo, Kostic; Wanner, Sano, Til; Perisic, Pepi, Van Bommel.
