Stuttgart (dpa) - Captain Gonzalo Castro may be fit again faster than expected and could already be an option for VfB Stuttgart's Bundesliga home game against Hertha BSC.

It may be that it works for the squad, ”said VfB coach Pellegrino Matarazzo on Thursday with a view to the game on Saturday (3:30 p.m. / Sky).

Midfielder Castro suffered a torn muscle fiber in his thigh two weeks ago in a 2-0 win against FSV Mainz 05.

The use of playmaker Daniel Didavi, who trains individually due to muscular problems, is also questionable.

Defender Marc Oliver Kempf had a cold after the 2: 5 at Bayer Leverkusen last weekend, but will be ready for the game against table 15.

The Argentine national soccer player Nicolas Gonzalez will meanwhile spend part of his injury break in his home country.

The striker traveled to Argentina for ten days for treatment and to visit his family, said Matarazzo.

With a muscle fiber tear, Gonzalez is expected to be out of Stuttgart for more than a month.
