As usual, Stuttgart will be short-staffed when they host Bielefeld tomorrow. However, Silas looks set to make his comeback after the international break.
This week, the winger, who developed into an undisputed performer last season, rejoined parts of the team training. No more individual drills, into game shapes where he has put smiles on the faces of colleagues and Pellegrino Matarazzo. “He’s great, just brings joy and a good atmosphere in, he laughs, he trains well,” the VfB coach tells us. “On Thursday you could see his quality again in the attacks. I’m just happy that he’s back.”
If everything goes according to plan and there are no setbacks, Silas will be able to celebrate his comeback after curing his cruciate ligament injury and the upcoming international break. “It looks good. I assume that he can make a partial appearance against Dortmund,” said Matarazzo, who ruled out a surprise for the clash against Bielefeld. “Bielefeld is not conceivable. He hasn’t taken part in any match forms yet. He should take the two-week international break with him. “
