Berlin (dpa) - Hertha coach Pal Dardai continues to hope that Sami Khedira and the also injured offensive players Matheus Cunha and Nemanja Radonjic will return soon.

“They certainly won't play in the next game.

Then we'll see.

Sami says it looks good.

That is positive for now, ”said the coach of the Berlin Bundesliga club in a digital media talk on Tuesday.

Khedira sustained a muscle injury to her left calf in Saturday's game at VfL Wolfsburg (0-2).

Matheus Cunha and Radonjic had to be replaced with a few wounds on the thigh and adductor.

All three will be absent from Hertha in the relegation battle at least in the home game on Saturday (3.30 p.m. / Sky) against FC Augsburg.

After his move from Juventus Turin, Khedira was only in the Hertha starting line-up for the second time.

He has not yet been able to play a game over the full playing time.

Against Augsburg, Dardai counts on a return of Jordan Torunarigha (hip), Javairo Dilrosun (knee) and Marvin Plattenhardt (muscular problems) to the squad.

“I would take her with me.

I have a good feeling with everyone, ”said Dardai.

Appearances in the starting XI would come too early for the trio.

After his broken foot, captain and defender Dedryck Boyata is still not an option.

Striker Krzysztof Piatek has reported himself fit again after the painful kick on the foot by Wolfsburg's Marin Pongracic, according to Dardai.
