Jonathan Burkardt Injury: Back available Friday

Burkardt (back) is back available for Friday's clash against Leverkusen, coach Dino Toppmoller said in the press conference.

Burkardt was ruled out of the game against Hoffenheim before the break due to back issues but has now fully recovered and is back fit for Friday's clash against Leverkusen. This is good news for the eagles since he is an undisputed starter in the frontline with his new club and will likely return directly to a starting role on Friday.
