Luca Jaquez Injury: Expected to miss two more games

Jaquez (thigh) is expected to miss two more Bundesliga games, VfB Sporting Director Fabian Wohlgemuth said to the media, according to the Stuttgarter Nachrichten. "We have to assume that he will be unavailable for the first two games. Then we will see how quickly he regains his full fitness."

Jaquez is still dealing with his thigh injury and will likely miss the next two Bundesliga games before making a fitness assessment on his condition. The defender's earliest chance to play will likely be against Union Berlin on Jan. 18. Jaquez has been a regular starter prior to his injury, therefore his absence is forcing a change in the backline, with Jeff Chabot and Ramon Hendriks expected to pair in central defense while he is sidelined.
