Berlin (AP) - Trainer Urs Fischer from Bundesliga soccer club 1. FC Union Berlin is hoping for a short comeback of the long-injured striker Joel Pohjanpalo.
“He's a penalty area player, something we missed recently in Augsburg,” said Fischer at a digital press conference on Thursday with regard to the home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday (3:30 p.m. / Sky), “a 15 to 20 minute stake looks good.
But we will decide that after the final training. "
In contrast, striker colleague Max Kruse has to wait for his comeback.
According to the 54-year-old coach, the 31-year-old was already "fast on the road" in training, but setbacks had to be taken into account after long failures such as when Kruse tore his muscle bundles.
Against Gladbach, Fischer also has to do without the suspended Christopher Trimmel and Florian Hübner as well as Anthony Ujah, for whom a season debut is not yet in sight.
