Head coach Florian Kohfeldt will have Kevin Vogt available for selection again for the DFB Pokal quarter final against Eintracht Frankfurt. The centre back suffered a knee injury against RB Leipzig two weeks ago and is now ready to return to the first team. “Kevin returned to training on Friday and will be available for the cup game,” Florian Kohfeldt announced in the pre-match press conference.

However the 37-year-old is still without the services of Philipp Bargfrede, who returned to team training last week but won’t be fit enough to start on Wednesday. “We have to wait and see how this week goes. Then he could be a candidate for an appearance on Saturday,” said the boss. Claudio Pizarro’s inclusion is also still up in the air. The striker has been suffering with back problems recently and has been unable to take part in training. It’s yet to be seen whether he will be available for the games against Frankfurt and Berlin. Kohfeldt was able to give a clear update regarding Fin Bartels’ condition, who “won’t be available for the next few days.” The 33-year-old is still battling with a calf problem.
