Berlin (AP) - Captain Dedryck Boyata from Bundesliga soccer club Hertha BSC has made his comeback on the soccer field after a three-month break.
The 30-year-old defender was substituted on in the second half of the Belgian national team's 8-0 win in World Cup qualification against Belarus.
On the other hand, Hertha coach Pal Dardai had already ruled out his captain's use in the derby on Sunday at 1. FC Union Berlin (6 p.m. / Sky).
Hertha had also tried not to have to send Boyata to the national team due to his long break.
Dardai thought that two or three days of training in Berlin would have been better for the Belgian.
Boyata himself wanted to join the national team and play there for a few minutes.
Dardai was not happy about that.
“I told him come back safe and sound.
Otherwise we will both have a problem. "
Hertha's goalkeeper Rune Jarstein was also back in action for his country and kept the box in the Norwegians 1-0 win in Montenegro.
The 36-year-old had been substituted at halftime when the score was 0: 2 in the home game against Turkey (0: 3) on Saturday.
Norway coach Stale Solbakken spoke of a “complete emptiness” of his goalkeeper who kept his box clean on Tuesday.
