Luca Jaquez, a 21-year-old, was signed by VfB Stuttgart from Luzern on Deadline Day. As a defensive player, he has the potential to participate in the DFB-Pokal match against FC Augsburg, although he is expected to begin the game on the bench. Jaquez, who prefers the central defense position, joins the team along with another newcomer, Finn Jeltsch, who was acquired from 1. FC Nürnberg. Both players have been included in the squad for the cup match, which is scheduled to take place less than 24 hours after their signing, underscoring Stuttgart's urgent requirement to bolster their defensive line.
