WolfsburgAvailable for season finale
Paredes has served his one-match disciplinary suspension and rejoined the squad ahead of Saturday's crucial relegation clash against St. Pauli, according to BILD.
Analysis: Paredes had been left out of the Bayern fixture following the same training altercation with Mohamed Amoura, with both players receiving fines in addition to their exclusion. Coach Dieter Hecking made clear that the matter is now closed and that Paredes is too important to be left out of the season finale against St. Pauli, with Wolfsburg needing every available attacking option for a fixture that will determine their Bundesliga status.
Out for discipline issue
Paredes is not in the squad for Saturday's clash with Bayern as a result of a disciplinary issue.
Analysis: Paredes misses out on short notice as he's been suspended for Saturday's match by manager Dieter Hecking. Paredes hasn't made a start since February due to injury and manager preference.
Makes bench Saturday
Paredes (muscular) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Gladbach.
Analysis: Paredes returned to team training after around two months out with muscular issues, earning a spot in the squad after coach Dieter Hecking praised his attitude and the strong impression he had made since coming back. The 22-year-old left winger has been sidelined since February, and Wolfsburg will manage his workload carefully rather than throwing him straight into the starting lineup given the length of his absence. A cameo off the bench represents a logical first step in his return as the club navigates the final stretch of the Bundesliga season.
Trains normally, should return
Paredes (muscular) returned to team training after around two months out and is in contention for a bench role in Saturday's clash against Gladbach, according to coach Dieter Hecking, per AZ/WAZ. "Kevin is looking good [in training], he is incredibly ambitious."
Analysis: Paredes has been making a strong impression in training since his return and the positive assessment from coach Hecking is an encouraging sign heading into the weekend. The 22-year-old left winger has been sidelined since February and figures to ease back in through cameos off the bench rather than being thrown straight into the starting lineup given the length of his absence. Wolfsburg will manage his workload carefully over the final stretch of the Bundesliga season, but his return is a welcome boost for a club that has been without one of their most direct attacking options for two months.
