Remains out against Stuttgart
Waldschmidt (muscular) will remain unavailable for Friday's Bundesliga clash against Stuttgart despite returning to team training, according to Geissblog.
Analysis: Waldschmidt has now resumed work with the group after muscular problems kept him out of Koln's opening two competitive matches of the season. However, the 30-year-old still needs time to rebuild his fitness following the layoff, and Koln won't take any risks by bringing him back too quickly. His return to full training is nevertheless an encouraging step, and he could be back in contention for the matchday squad in the near future.
Out against Hoffenheim
Waldschmidt (muscle) will miss the Bundesliga opener against Hoffenheim as he continues his rehabilitation, according to coach Rene Wagner. "Waldschmidt is taking things a little easier with his return. He's still undergoing rehabilitation so that he can then go full throttle again."
Analysis: Waldschmidt will sit out the opener as Koln give him additional time to fully recover from his muscular issue. The problem is not considered serious, with the forward expected to step up his workload next week and work toward returning at full fitness. His absence against Hoffenheim should therefore be a short-term one if his rehabilitation continues as planned.
