Due to an ankle capsule injury, Roberto Massimo had to sit out for the previous encounter with Bayern Munich. For his teammates from VfB Stuttgart, there was a clear 5-0 defeat against the German record champions on Tuesday evening.
As for the final game day before the winter break, the 21-year-old has a tight squeeze on whether he will get fit in time. On Wednesday there was at least one step forward: Massimo was able to return to the training ground and do an individual program.

The rest of the training week will ultimately show whether he can be available again for the game against 1. FC Koln.

After all: VfB's guest appearance in the Rhineland will only kick off on Sunday at 5:30 p.m. So Massimo still has some time to get fit again.
