Stuttgart – VfB Stuttgart also have to do without striker Sasa Kalajdzic in the Bundesliga opener against SpVgg Greuther Fürth on Saturday (3.30 p.m. / Sky).
Despite the expired corona quarantine, the 24-year-old tested positive again, as VfB coach Pellegrino Matarazzo said. “But we are assuming that Sasa will look better in the next few days and that he will then be able to start training again.” Tanguy Coulibaly and Nikolas Nartey, who were also isolated due to Corona, are not yet an option for the first matchday of the Bundesliga.
For this, the Swabians can count on captain Wataru Endo, who only returned to training on Tuesday after his Olympic appearance with Japan. “Endo is definitely an option for the starting XI. I have a feeling he was never gone, »said Matarazzo. Defense chief Waldemar Anton is also available again after his cold and full-back Clinton Mola is fit again after his pelvic contusion.
