Matus Bero - Trains by himself Bero (knee) started to train individually with the athletic trainer, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Bero is starting to work on his first parts of returning to full fitness, as he trained individually following the knee issue he picked up just over two weeks ago. This is great news for the midfielder, although he still most likely won't be an option for Sunday's match against Darmstadt. He will probably not get into team training until next week, making a return against Koln on April 6 much more likely.

MARCH 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tim Oermann - Individually training Oermann (hamstring) was back in individual training working with the athletic trainer ahead of Sunday's match against Darmstadt.

Impact Oermann is back on the training pitch, working by himself for the first time since going down with a hamstring issue two weeks ago. This leaves the defender with only four days to get the jump to team training, leaving him in heavy doubt for Sunday's match against Darmstadt. He will still eye a return for Saturday, but it seems much more likely he will be ready to take the field next week against Koln on April 6.

Christopher Antwi-Adjei - Trains with team Antwi-Adjei (strain) was included in team training, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Antwi-Adjei was back in team training for the first time in around a month following the strain he had been dealing with during that time. This leaves the attacker in good shape to return this weekend against Darmstadt on Sunday. With that being said, he will hope to earn his starting spot back in that match, as before his injury, he has started in seven of the club's past eight contests.

Impact Stoger was relentless on the left-wing, creating 10 goal-scoring opportunities and he did not deserve to end up on the losing team. The winger is Bochum's top assister (7) and second highest scorer (5). He ranks fourth in the Bundesliga for crosses with 161, an impressive feat since he plies his trade for a team fighting relegation.

Tim Oermann - Back in starting XI Oermann (strain) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Freiburg.

Impact Oermann is immediately back in the XI Sunday after missing the last two matches with a muscle strain. He was forced off in the Feb. 18 match with the issue and appears ready to go again. That said, a full 90 is always in question following muscle injuries. As a right-back, he's crossed just three times in his last five starts with three shots.
