Werder Bremen head coach Daniel Thioune has provided an update on the fitness of Felix Agu ahead of their Bundesliga clash with Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Werder Bremen will host Mainz at the Weserstadion on Saturday as they look to continue their campaign in the Bundesliga. Agu returned to training with his teammates on Thursday after recovering from an injury that kept him sidelined for about a month.
Forward Samuel Mbangula is another player gradually working his way back to full fitness.
Thioune admitted that both players are unlikely to start the game but could still be included in the matchday squad depending on their progress.
“They definitely won’t be starting this week,” Thioune told the club’s official website.
“Although we’ll make a decision on Saturday at the earliest as to whether they’ll be in the squad or not.
“Neither of them have been fully reintegrated into team training yet. If they feel ready and we get the go-ahead from the medical staff, then they may play a role.”
