Eric Uhlmann, who currently plays for Hannover 96, is noted for his potential to move up to the 2nd league. This is due to his performance during the season, including scoring goals and assisting. There are discussions internally about him replacing Yannik Lührs who has moved to Dortmund II. If no established fourth central defender is signed, no external defensive talent is expected to come. The place of Lührs with coach Stefan Leitl would then be given to Uhlmann.
