Late fitness call Saturday
Lokonga (thigh) is a late fitness call for Saturday's clash against Bremen, according to coach Merlin Polzin. "For Sambi, we were able to increase his workload this week, and we will also check tomorrow where he stands."
ANALYSIS
Lokonga could be an option for Saturday's clash against Bremen pending a positive fitness test Friday after missing the last match due to a thigh injury. The midfielder had started the previous four matches before the setback and is expected to reclaim that role once fully fit, with Nicolai Remberg a candidate to start in his place if he is unavailable.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for Arsenal return
Sevilla aren't expected to exercise the option to sign Lokonga permanently following his loan spell, according to The Mirror.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old midfielder has suffered four injuries on loan with Sevilla this season and is set to return to Arsenal in the summer. All signs point to the La Liga club being unlikely to exercise their £10.25 million option to sign the central midfielder on a permanent basis. On that scenario, Lokonga would probably leave Arsenal again in the summer, either on loan or permanently.
