Thomas Delaney can smile again – without pain. The Dane is back doing individual training. On Tuesday morning he came through a relaxed cycle in the gym at the Weser Stadium. “I’m getting better, even though not quite everything has fully recovered yet. I no longer have a headache and my bruised face feels OK again,” said Delaney.

Borja Mayoral pulled a goal back within 60...
