Borna Sosa and Wataru Endo are fit, Josha Vagnoman is still out
With Borna Sosa, a beacon of hope returns at VfB Stuttgart against Union.
After a cold, the Croatian is ready for the game on Sunday (7.30 p.m. / DAZN).
Wataru Endo and Hiroki Ito, who recently missed team training on Tuesday (October 4th) and Wednesday (October 5th), should also be in the squad against Berlin.
Endo was injured and replaced in the 3-2 defeat by VfL Wolfsburg.
Meanwhile, things are not looking good for Josha Vagnoman, who will be out indefinitely due to bone edema.

As the
kicker

However, Matarazzo should probably get the chance to turn things around in the next two games against Union and VfL Bochum.
To do this, the coach has to get some problems under control, because the VfB crisis does not come out of nowhere.
