WolfsburgBack for second leg
Wind (thigh) has been cleared and is fit for Monday's second leg against Paderborn, according to coach Dieter Hecking. "All of them are fit to play except for Patrick."
Analysis: Wind had missed Thursday's first leg as he continued his recovery from a thigh issue, but his clearance for the second leg is a timely attacking boost for Wolfsburg heading into such a high-stakes relegation playoff fixture. Getting the Danish striker available gives coach Hecking another important option up front as the wolves push for a Bundesliga survival on Monday.
Second leg return possible
Wind (thigh) will miss Thursday's relegation playoff first leg against Paderborn but could potentially return for Monday's second leg, according to coach Dieter Hecking. "Fischer and Wind could possibly be there Monday."
Analysis: Wind has been absent for several weeks with an undisclosed issue, and the first leg of the playoff arrives too soon for him to be considered. His potential return for Monday's second leg would give Wolfsburg a significant attacking boost at a critical stage, with the club hopeful of having him available should the tie remain in the balance heading into the decisive fixture.
Nearly out for Season
Wind (thigh) will miss Saturday's clash against St. Pauli but could potentially return for the relegation playoff should Wolfsburg finish 16th, according to coach Dieter Hecking. "Wind is very far away and could become an alternative, provided we avoid relegation."
Analysis: Wind's absence for the final regular season fixture is another blow for a Wolfsburg side already dealing with multiple injury concerns heading into a crucial weekend. Manager Dieter Hecking's comments suggest a return for the relegation playoff is not out of the question, giving the club some hope of having the forward available should they need to navigate the two-legged tie. His potential availability for the playoff could prove significant given the stakes involved.
