The two attackers Sasa Kalajdzic and Tanguy Coulibaly from Bundesliga leaders VfB Stuttgart have returned to team training after their corona illnesses. The Swabians announced on Tuesday. The two top performers missed the season opener in the cup and in the league due to a positive corona test.

After the 5: 1 against newly promoted SpVgg Greuther Fürth, the Austrian striker Kalajdzic and the French winger Coulibaly could be an option for the game on Friday (8.30 p.m. live on DAZN) at runner-up RB Leipzig.

Nikolas Nartey, who also tested positive, is meanwhile still in quarantine, VfB sports director Sven Mislintat expects to return next week.

The comeback of Silas Katompa Mvumpa after his cruciate ligament injury has yet to be seen. “The return of Silas will take some time to complete. He is athletically very advanced,” said Mislintat.
