Julian Ryerson Injury: Unlikely to face St. Pauli

Ryerson (calf) is unlikely for Saturday's match against St. Pauli, according to manager Niko Kovac. "For Julian, there's still no improvements; he continues to have problems with his calf."

Ryerson is not trending in the right direction after being given a slight chance of returning when they open the season Saturday, as he is not improving from his injury yet. He will then more than likely miss out Saturday, unless he can pass a late test. Even if he is fit, they will probably not risk him and leave him to a bench spot, with Yan Couto as a probable replacement.
