Marvin Pieringer

Pieringer (ankle)is continuing to train and is nearing a return to play, according to manager Frank Schmidt. "He trained - like everyone else all week. Those who train with us, who train with the team, are no longer treated carefully, but train normally. And then we must not forget: The last weeks, you can say two months, he has trained intensively during training, but off the court, with our athletics coaches. We carefully built him up so that he could now fully get back into training - honestly, only really for a week now. You must not forget that either. Of course, this takes a certain amount of time, then again, in training to adapt to everything that is fully required."

Pieringer (ankle) is out for Saturday's clash with Augsburg, according to manager Franck Schmidt.

Pieringer (ankle) has returned to training Wednesday, according to his club.

Pieringer (ankle) is expected to miss around another month of action and return in September, according to Kicker.

Pieringer underwent surgery on his left ankle last week after playing through pain the whole season since he suffered the injury back in November, according to the club.
