Second leg return possible
Fischer (thigh) will miss Thursday's relegation playoff first leg against Paderborn but could potentially return for Monday's second leg, according to coach Dieter Hecking. "Fischer and Wind could possibly be there Monday."
Analysis: Fischer has been working his way back from thigh surgery undertaken in early February, and while his return to training had been an encouraging sign, the first leg comes too soon for him to feature. The right-back's potential availability for Monday's second leg would be a timely boost for Wolfsburg given the magnitude of the occasion, with the club managing his reintegration carefully after such a lengthy absence.
Back in team training
Fischer (thigh) returned to full team training Tuesday and could be an option for Saturday's season finale against St. Pauli if he comes through the remaining sessions in good shape, the club posted.
Analysis: Fischer had been working through individual sessions on the pitch as part of his rehabilitation following the thigh operation he underwent in early February, making his return to collective training a significant step forward in what has been a lengthy recovery process. The right-back is a natural starter in that position when fit and Wolfsburg will assess how he responds to the coming sessions before making a final call on his involvement in the final fixture of the season.
