Sasa Kalajdzic no longer in the squad of VfB Stuttgart
Update, August 27, 4:35 p.m .:
Sasa Kalajdzic did not take part in the final training session at VfB Stuttgart on Saturday (August 27) and, in consultation with coach Matarazzo, will not be in the squad against Cologne.
Thus, a change of the Austrian is probably imminent.
Nikolas Nartey is missing from VfB Stuttgart due to a torn muscle fibre
Nikolas Nartey, who tore a muscle fiber in his rear right thigh during VfB's win in the friendly against FC St. Gallen on Wednesday, is not there.
The midfielder will be out for two to three weeks.
Tiago Tomas, who was in bed with tonsillitis and fever during the week, will also be absent.
So far, the attacker has not trained with the team again.
Tanguy Coulibaly, meanwhile, is in advanced training and is expected to take part in team training next week.
A mission against FC comes too early for the French.
Borna Sosa is probably available to VfB Stuttgart against Cologne
Cologne/Stuttgart – Before the duel against 1. FC Köln on Sunday (August 28, 3.30 p.m. / DAZN), the future of Sasa Kalajdzic and Borna Sosa is the dominant topic at VfB Stuttgart.
Coach Pellegrino Matarazzo is trying to keep the rumors away from the team.
According to the current status, Kalajdzic and Sosa are available to the Swabians for the game in the Rheinenergie Stadium.
VfB recently suffered a 1-0 defeat against SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga, while FC Köln beat Hungary's Fehervar FC 3-0 in qualifiers for the Europa Conference League on Thursday.
