Back available
Jeltsch (abdomen) has returned to full team training and is therefore available for Saturday's match against Frankfurt, according to coach Sebastian Hoeness. "Jeltsch is fully back in team training."
Analysis: Jeltsch's return is a welcome development for Stuttgart heading into the final fixtures of the season. The young center-back has been one of the club's most used players this campaign with 35 appearances across all competitions, and his availability gives manager Sebastian Hoeness a key defensive option back in contention. Luca Jaquez and Ramon Hendriks, who had been covering in his absence, are likely to revert to depth roles with Jeltsch back in the fold.
Suffers abdominal injury
Jeltsch (abdomen) sustained an abdominal muscle injury during Sunday's 4-2 defeat against Bayern and is unavailable for Stuttgart in the coming days, according to the club.
Analysis: Jeltsch had to be substituted at halftime after picking up the issue in the first half, and the club's confirmation of the muscle injury rules him out of upcoming fixtures with no specific timeline given for his return. The young center-back has been one of Stuttgart's most used players this season with 35 appearances across all competitions, making his absence a real blow for the Cannstatt club heading into the final stretch of the Bundesliga campaign. Luca Jaquez and Ramon Hendriks are the most likely candidates to fill the defensive void in his absence.
