Jaroslav Drobny has returned to team training ahead of the upcoming game against Hertha BSC. The Czech Republic international, who featured against Hamburg and Ingolstadt after recovering from a broken arm, has overcome a calf problem to return to the team’s preparations. “He has participated in full training and I have received positive feedback. He knows his body – if he says he is okay, then there is no question about that for us,” stated head coach Alexander Nouri.
Luca Caldirola and Florian Grillitsch also returned to the field, participating in individual training alongside physiotherapist Florian Laurer. Midfielder Grillitsch had been absent for two weeks due to a muscular issue. “We expect him to rejoin the team in the next week,” explained Nouri, who added that a similar plan was in place for Ulisses Garcia. Garcia sat out training on Thursday.
Zlatko Junuzovic was also unable to take part in training due to his ongoing issues with flu. “We have to see his situation day-by-day,” said Nouri. Clemens Fritz, meanwhile, has recovered from his own illness and could be considered to take his place in the side.
