There was good news for Bayer 04 Leverkusen ahead of next week's UEFA Cup Round of 16 first leg against fellow German club Hamburger SV when first-choice goalkeeper René Adler was passed fit to play in Saturday's Bundesliga fixture at VfL Bochum 1848.

The 23-year-old had been suffering from a groin strain which kept him out of last weekend's 1-0 victory against FC Schalke 04.
