They were so looking forward to him and his comeback. Now, however, Stuttgart will have to do without Silas once again in Dortmund The attacker will be spared.
The hospital is getting thinner. Although not quite as quickly as had been hoped. Silas, whose comeback the Stuttgart team had already promised a fortnight ago for Friday’s match in Westphalia, will not be able to play after all.
We don’t want to take any risks. We’ve waited a few months now, so we can be patient for a few more days.
“Unfortunately, he will not be an option, “, Pellegrino Matarazzo announced today. “Silas has fully joined the team training this week. But in terms of coordination and security, it will take a few more days before he can be on the field and perform.” Stuttgart’s coach wants to avoid rushing the 23-year-old into the next injury. “We don’t want to take any risks. We’ve waited a few months now, we can be patient for a few more days. “
Führich must remain patient – doubts with Kempf
Patience is also needed for another offensive player: Chris Führich. There was also a small hope of a return for the newcomer from Paderborn. But the convalescence of his ankle ligament injury “has not gone as we had hoped. It’s still taking a while. Maybe next week against Mainz it will be enough to make a short appearance,” says Matarazzo, who also has doubts about Marc Oliver Kempf. “He still feels insecure when doing long sprints “, said the head coach about the defender with a thigh injury.
Mavropanos “fully ready for action “
But the head coach has good news elsewhere: Konstantinos Mavropanos is “back and fully fit” after his slight muscle fibre tear in his thigh. And the Swabians also expect Omar Marmoush (after a syndesmosis injury) to be able to play, “even if there is still a small question mark behind him because he is still feeling pain when shooting at goal”.
