Mets (undisclosed) is an option for Saturday's match against Wolfsburg, but will only play limited minutes, according to manager Alexander Blessin. "Karol wants to be there. He signaled an incredible readiness this week and trained normally. During the season, you wouldn't take the risk. He feels ready for 30 minutes, the risk can be estimated."
Analysis: Mets is in for a return during the season finale, but will not appear for the entire match, as the defender will instead be limited following the injury. This is a rough turn for the defender who has been a starter almost the entire season, recording 22 starts in 23 appearances, earning two clean sheets in that time. He will likely appear on the bench and enter the field later in the match, giving a bit more defensive depth and coverage.
Ruled out for time being
Mets (undisclosed) has been ruled out for the time being with a structural muscle injury, according to the club.
Analysis: Mets had been managing fitness concerns in recent weeks and the confirmation of a structural injury brings a definitive end to any hopes of a swift return for the center-back. Adam Dzwigala is expected to take on a larger role in the back line for St. Pauli during his absence as the club pushes through the final fixtures of what has been a challenging Bundesliga campaign.
