This could be something! On Saturday (3:30 p.m.) the Eisernen welcome Stuttgart to the Alte Försterei – with Robin Knoche (31) and Rani Khedira (29)?
Both trained with the team on Monday. Khedira, who had been out since matchday 1 with calf problems, took part in the entire program.
Knoche (after adductor problems) practiced with his colleagues for an hour, then fitness coach Martin Krüger (43) took over for an individual program.
So there are still four days of training left for the duo, who have been sorely missed in the past few weeks. With both of them, the defensive strength of the Iron team should return after seven competitive defeats in a row.
