Late fitness call Saturday
Wober (calf) is nearing a return but is a late call for Saturday's clash against Hamburger, according to coach Daniel Thioune. "We are trying to gradually get them used to competition again in training. Max's layoff has been very long, so it is inevitable that there will be a few minor issues. We are closely monitoring his progress. We are not ruling any player out. If he has an opportunity and adapts well, he could return to competition. I will assess things again tomorrow after the final training session."
