If not, you could estimate your velocity by deriving your position with respect to time.time.
Estimate pose from velocity
x += v_x * dt
y += v_y * dt
theta += v_theta * dt
and so therefore your velocity in the odom frame can be estimated as
v_x = delta_x / dt
v_y = delta_y / dt
v_theta = delta_theta /dt
Given this you can extrapolate a robot frame velocity of
v.x = v_x/cos(theta)
omega = v_theta (due to the nature of differential drive kinematics).
Also keep in mind that due to kinematic constraints
v.y=0
