+++ Bargfrede is back! He’s the latest name to be added to the list of returnees, as at the start of the week, Claudio Pizarro and Max Kruse also returned to team training after long-term injury lay-offs. The midfielder took part in team training on Monday morning, joining a small group of players on the training pitch. The reduced numbers were down to the starting eleven undergoing recovery training indoors, while the international players have already traveled to their national team camps - this meant Bargfrede was one of only nine outfield players on the training ground. The defensive midfielders left their teammates midway through the session to work on fitness. It’s likely “Bargi” will get his first game time in Friday’s friendly against VfL Osnabrück.+++
