Marvin Pieringer

Pieringer (ankle) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Koln.

Pieringer (ankle) is dealing with an injury and will be a late call for Saturday's clash against Koln, coach Frank Schmidt said in the press conference, according to Regenbogen.

Pieringer scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against FC St. Pauli. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 87th minute.

Pieringer (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Werder Bremen.

Pieringer (ankle)is continuing to train and is nearing a return to play, according to manager Frank Schmidt. "He trained - like everyone else all week. Those who train with us, who train with the team, are no longer treated carefully, but train normally. And then we must not forget: The last weeks, you can say two months, he has trained intensively during training, but off the court, with our athletics coaches. We carefully built him up so that he could now fully get back into training - honestly, only really for a week now. You must not forget that either. Of course, this takes a certain amount of time, then again, in training to adapt to everything that is fully required."
