It’s hard to say if he can return to the elite, but he will definitely do his best throughout the championship. So, no matter where you play, good results will always try to achieve them. In this match, Felix Lohkemper, Kevin Goden, Virgil Misidjan, Alexander Fuchs, Fabian Schleusener and Adam Zrelak will be absent, for being in the medical department.
