Makes bench Saturday
Vazquez (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Stuttgart.
Analysis: Vazquez passed his late fitness assessment after coach Kasper Hjulmand confirmed he would be evaluated following his return to collective sessions Thursday, recovering enough to earn a spot in the squad after missing two consecutive Bundesliga fixtures with the persistent calf problems sustained during the DFB Pokal semifinal against Bayern Munich. The club opted to manage his return carefully rather than throwing him straight back into the starting role, with Arthur and Montrell Culbreath expected to continue covering until he is back to full speed.
Trains with team, could return
Vazquez (calf) was spotted in team training Thursday and could be an option for Saturday's clash against Stuttgart, according to coach Kasper Hjulmand.
Analysis: Vazquez had missed two consecutive Bundesliga fixtures with the persistent calf problems he sustained during the DFB Pokal semifinal against Bayern Munich, making his return to collective sessions an encouraging development heading into the weekend. The club will make a final call on his involvement after assessing how he responds to the remaining sessions before Saturday, with Arthur and Montrell Culbreath having covered in his absence during his recent spell on the sidelines.
