1. FC Union Berlin will compete for the remainder of the first half of the campaign without central defender Keven Schlotterbeck.

The on-loan Freiburg man injured knee ligaments during the 1-2 defeat at Schalke on Friday. After further examinations in Berlin, Schlotterbeck was given the confirmation and he will carry out further rehab.

Meanwhile, Rafal Gikiewicz was given the all-clear following an injury which he sustained in the second half of the match. The Polish goalkeeper hasn't suffered any damage to his knee following a collision with Amine Harit.
