Stuttgart (AP) - VfB Stuttgart will have to do without U21 national player Mateo Klimowicz in the away game at Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday (3.30 p.m. / Sky).
The offensive man was unable to train this week due to adductor problems, said coach Pellegrino Matarazzo on Friday.
Even striker Nicolas Gonzalez is not yet available for the Swabian Bundesliga club after a torn muscle fiber in his thigh.
"He will probably start team training next week and hopefully be an option for the last game against Bielefeld," said Matarazzo of the Argentina international.
The use of goalkeeper Gregor Kobel, who missed VfB's 2-1 win against FC Augsburg last Friday due to back problems, is still questionable.
"I hope that it can be an option," said Matarazzo with a view to the last away game of the season at Borussia Park.
The last ailing Gonzalo Castro and Roberto Massimo are ready for action again.
