Injury Quadriceps
Est. Return 10/31/2026
Remains sidelined from team training
Diehl (quadriceps) has yet to resume team training and remains unavailable for the time being as he continues his recovery from a muscular injury, coach Sebastian Hoeness confirmed.
ANALYSIS
Diehl continues to work his way back from the thigh injury suffered during a training session in September, with his absence now extending beyond the international break. The young forward has endured a frustrating stretch of recurring fitness issues, having failed to make a Bundesliga appearance last season while primarily featuring for Stuttgart's U21 side in the 3. Liga. With no indication that he's close to rejoining the group, Diehl remains out of contention for Saturday's clash against Paderborn, and his return timeline is still uncertain.
