Suffers fresh muscular setback

Nartey (thigh) has been ruled out for Friday's Bundesliga clash against Borussia Monchengladbach after experiencing renewed muscular problems despite recently returning to team training and the matchday squad, according to the club.

Analysis: Nartey has suffered another setback in his recovery after initially appearing close to making his return from a thigh injury. The Danish midfielder recently resumed full team training and was included on the bench for Tuesday's Champions League encounter against Atletico Madrid, although he remained an unused substitute. However, the club confirmed Thursday that he is once again dealing with muscular discomfort, ruling him out of Friday's Bundesliga meeting with Borussia Monchengladbach. The club has not disclosed the severity of his latest issue or established a timetable for his return to training, leaving his short-term availability uncertain. Nartey has endured a frustrating start to the campaign, recording just six minutes of competitive action across the Bundesliga and Champions League. His latest setback could further delay his efforts to regain a place in Stuttgart's midfield rotation, with the coaching staff likely to take a cautious approach given his recurring muscular problems.

On bench Tuesday

Nartey (thigh) is on the bench for Tuesday's UCL match against Atletico Madrid.

Analysis: As expected, Nartey is an option off the bench for Stuttgart. The midfielder is set to return after a brief three-game absence, though he's not expected to play a big role -- he has logged just six minutes of action all season long between the Bundesliga and the UCL.
