Plays one half in return
van den Berg (ankle) played one half of Thursday's 8-0 friendly win over Bergisch Gladbach, the club posted.
Analysis: van den Berg's involvement is an encouraging step forward after previously being limited to partial training sessions as he built up from an ankle issue that saw him taken off training in a golf cart, later confirmed to be without structural damage. His return to match action positions him to continue building toward full integration into Koln's squad ahead of the new 2026/27 Bundesliga season.
Trains partially with team
van den Berg completed parts of team training as FC Koln began its second week of preseason preparations, continuing his buildup after previously being sidelined by an ankle issue, according to the club.
Analysis: van den Berg's increased training load marks a positive step forward in his recovery, though it remains unclear when he will be able to rejoin full team training. His return to partial sessions follows a recent scare when he was taken off training in a golf cart, later confirmed to be without structural damage, and his continued progression will be worth monitoring as Koln builds toward the new 2026/27 Bundesliga season.
