Overview

  • Midfielder Diego Demme stayed in Berlin due to renewed head complaints after previous months sidelined with dizziness.
  • Defender Niklas Kolbe is out until further notice with a muscle injury, and striker Dawid Kownacki missed the flight with a flu-like infection but could join later.
  • Rehabbing pair John Anthony Brooks and Leon Jensen are in the group, transfer-listed Julian Eitschberger also traveled, and four youth players were called up.
  • A test match against Standard Liège is scheduled for Friday before the squad returns and hosts FC Schalke 04 on January 17.
