Clemens Fritz was able to share some good news regarding the squad during today’s press conference. “Everybody will be back on the training ground, apart from Milos who is training individually.” After being stretched thin recently, particularly in defence, Fritz was able to give the all-clear.
"It's really important for us to have the boys back again. Competition raises the quality of our training sessions and it is, of course, important for Ole to be able to draw on his full range of resources," Fritz explained about the return of the three players. Leonardo Bittencourt, who didn't take part in the game against Freiburg, took part in training as well.
Moreover, Nicolai Rapp is on the road to recovery. After his recent muscle problems, the midfielder trained individually with recovery coach Marcel Abanoz this morning. Milos Veljkovic was still absent from team training. After his muscle injury, the Serb ran a solo session on Monday. His availability for Friday’s clash against Hertha BSC is still up in the air and he could play. Manuel Mbom remains in rehab following his achilles tear.
