Christopher Lenz - Left out Friday Lenz will miss Friday's clash with Bochum after being left out of the match-day squad.

Impact Lenz's absence may be related to the fact that he subbed off in the 73rd minute against FC Union on March 19, though he had rarely gone the full 90 minutes. Without Lenz in the squad, Philipp Max will slot into the left-midfield role for Friday's contest.
