De Jong, who has netted seven times in the Dutch top-flight this season, is fit to travel to Germany after an ankle problem kept him out of the defeat at CSKA Moscow in their previous Group B game.

Fellow Dutch international Jeffrey Bruma is a doubt for Wednesday's match because of a calf injury but midfielder Maxime Lestienne will miss out again.

The Belgian-born Lestienne has been given some time off following the death of his mother.

Lestienne, who was made a positive impact since arriving from Genoa at the start of the season, has missed PSV's last two games. PSV won their opening Group B match against Manchester United but then lost 3-2 at CSKA.
