Milos Veljkovic will train individually over the coming days due to a knee joint issue and will miss Sunday’s friendly against Eintracht Braunschweig (7th January, 15:00 CET). It remains to be seen whether he will be fit in time for the first competitive match of the year against VfL Bochum (14th January).
