German-Ghanaian forward Jaime Leweling is poised to make his comeback for VfB Stuttgart after recovering from a thigh muscle injury that kept him out of action for over three weeks.
The 23-year-old shared an encouraging update on his progress, telling Sky Sports, “It was tough dealing with my first injury, but I believe I can be ready for next week’s game against Bremen. That’s the goal.”
While Leweling’s optimism suggests he is eager to return to the field, Stuttgart’s sporting director, Fabian Wohlgemuth, has taken a more cautious stance.
I hope he’ll be fully fit in two weeks, Wohlgemuth stated to BILD, highlighting a measured approach to the player’s recovery.
Though it may be unlikely that Leweling will feature in the starting lineup for Stuttgart’s upcoming match against Werder Bremen, his swift recovery is a positive sign, and he could make an appearance from the bench.
So far this season, Leweling has made nine Bundesliga appearances, contributing one goal and one assist.
His return will be a welcome boost for Stuttgart, who will be hoping that his presence can help maintain their strong performance in the league.
Whether his return comes next week or later, Leweling’s determination to recover quickly fuels optimism among fans, as he aims to make a significant impact in the coming matches.
