Top scorer Christoph Daferner and new signing Vincent Vehnij are back on the pitch for team training, offering a boost after recent concerns.
Dynamo Dresden’s fans have reason to cheer: both star striker Christoph Daferner and recent acquisition Vincent Vehnij were spotted participating in team training. This return marks a positive development following a period of worry about their availability.
Coach Remains Cautious on Availability
Despite the encouraging signs, coach Thomas Stamm is tempering expectations. During a press conference, Stamm avoided making firm predictions about their immediate return to match play. He expressed hope but stressed that neither attacker will be included in the squad for Sunday’s away game in Bielefeld.
“It’s possible both could start next week,” Stamm stated, “but we need to see how the next few days unfold.”
Reasons for Recent Absences
Vincent Vehnij was unexpectedly sidelined before the cup match against FSV Mainz 05 due to illness. The forward, who joined the team from Fortuna Düsseldorf in the summer, was diagnosed with a viral infection. Christoph Daferner’s recent scare came from an injury to his right hand. He had previously played in the first two league games against Greuther Fürth and Magdeburg.
Fröling Stepped In at Striker
In the absence of Daferner and Vehnij, Nils Fröling was tasked with leading the attack against Mainz. While striker isn’t his natural position, the offensive player performed admirably. For the upcoming fixture in Bielefeld, the team will likely need to find another creative solution in the forward line.
Hope for a Swift Comeback
The good news is that both Daferner and Vehnij have rejoined training sessions and are actively working towards their comeback. Dynamo Dresden is optimistic that the duo will be available for selection in the coming week.
