Berlin (AP) - Ex-world champion Sami Khedira is at Hertha BSC in the season finale of the Bundesliga before returning to the starting line-up.

“We'll train well, then there's a chance that he'll play from the start.

If he is fit and can play 90 minutes, then he can play 90 minutes, ”said coach Pal Dardai at a digital media round on Tuesday.

In the fight against relegation, the Berliners appear as table 15.

on Sunday (6 p.m. / Sky) at the direct competitor FSV Mainz 05 (14th).

The 34-year-old winter access Khedira has recently been substituted twice after recovering from a calf injury.

Regular goalkeeper Rune Jarstein, however, will still be missing on matchday 29.

The Norwegian is still in quarantine at home after being infected with the corona virus.

The 36-year-old veteran is "not looking good because he has had a fever for a long time" with a view to a quick return, said Dardai.

"I wouldn't say he's back Thursday."

Then Jarstein's isolation would actually be over.

«He should recover.

"We don't put any pressure on him," said the head coach, however.

Jarstein had already missed the last two matches and should be represented again by Alexander Schwolow in Mainz.

At FSV, Hertha wants to take at least one point at the end of the coming match day.

«We have to fight, there is no excuse.

That's the match plan in the relegation battle, "said Dardai:" Every game is now a derby, every point is important. "
