Niklas Antlitz was absent from the Stuttgarter Kickers' winter preparation session. Coach Marco Wildersinn confirmed that a transfer is possible for Antlitz. The 25-year-old joined Stuttgarter Kickers in the summer of 2023 from FC-Astoria Walldorf but has only played 95 minutes in three official matches this season. It is expected that Antlitz will sign with another club in the Regionalliga Südwest soon.
