Julian Brandt Injury: Late fitness call Saturday

Brandt will be a late fitness call for Saturday's clash against Heidenheim, coach Niko Kovacs said in the press conference. "We'll have to see if Julian Brandt will be fit by the weekend."

Brandt will be a late call for Saturday's clash against Heidenheim due to fitness reasons. If he has to miss the call, the playmaker's absence will be a blow for the Black and Yellow and will force a change in the frontline, with Carney Chukwuemeka or Karim Adeyemi as possible replacements on Saturday.
