Head coach Florian Kohfeldt has Kevin Vogt back to his disposal again for the away game against FC Schalke 04 at the weekend. “He’s looking very good. Kevin will almost certainly be available,” said the head coach ahead of Saturday’s game (15:30 CEST).
The Green-Whites have no new injuries to report. “Everyone else is available,” said Florian Kohfeldt in the press conference on Friday morning. Milos Veljkovic will miss the game through suspension, having accumulated too many yellow cards.
Kohfeldt has not yet disclosed who will replace the Serbian in the heart of the defence. “Everyone has seen what Christian Groß is capable of in the Bundesliga,” said the coach. In addition to “Grosso”, who played more as a defensive midfielder against Gladbach during the week, Sebastian Langkamp is another candidate to fill in next to Ömer Toprak. “Basti has trained really well,” Kohfeldt praised the centre half, who could also consider the possibility of moving Marco Friedl into the central position, allowing Ludwig Augustinsson to slot back into his usual left back position.
