FC Twente

Two attacking players have returned ahead of FC Twente's European opener following the 1-1 draw at Fortuna Sittard. Filip Thorvaldsen and Sondre Ørjasæter are back in contention, as Van den Brom confirmed on Wednesday. Daan Rots and Marko Pjaca are nevertheless the expected starters in the wide positions. There is also a genuine choice between Daouda Weidmann and Thomas van den Belt in midfield. Weidmann started at Fortuna, while Van den Belt appeared as a substitute.

Joël Drommel is expected to continue in goal because Lars Unnerstall remains unfit. Max Bruns is also unavailable, and Stav Lemkin has resumed group training but will not be in Thursday's squad. Robin Pröpper scored Twente's equaliser in Sittard, although Van den Brom was dissatisfied with the performance. The Conference League home match against Thun offers an opportunity to respond, with the recovered wingers providing additional options even if neither immediately returns to the starting side.

Thun

Bottom of the table without a point so far this season, Thun will also be missing defender Jan Bamert at FC Twente on Thursday: his red card against FC Zürich led to a two-match ban.

There are also two open calls out wide: Riccardo Braschi and Noah Christoffersson are competing on one flank, while Dorian Derbaci and Nils Reichmuth contest the other. Fabio Saiz Pennarossa, who scored twice in his previous four starts, and Marco Bürki both missed the match at FC Zürich. Furkan Dursun, who has a goal and an assist in his last three starts, is expected on the left, with Nico Maier in attack.
