Peter Stöger did not rule out the possibility that Andrey Yarmolenko could make a return to the squad this weekend after having recovered from a tendon injury. The coach added that Shinji Kagawa was not too far away from making his comeback either.

"It's looking good," said Stöger of Kagawa, who has been missing through injury since 10 February. The Japan international suffered a setback during his rehabilitation but is now nearing fitness. "I can't say exactly when he will return to team training, though," said Stöger. "But I'm hoping that he will be able to play an important role for us in the final stage of the season."

Andrey Yarmolenko, who sustained an injury in the match against Freiburg at the end of January, is already training with the team. (br)
