😖 Situation is far from ideal: VfB attacking star completely left out | OneFootball

The situation of Silas Katompa Mvumpa at VfB Stuttgart remains complicated.

The 27-year-old has long since recovered from his ankle injury, is fully training, and was even present on the last away trips. Nevertheless, he was ultimately not included in the matchday squad for the 1-2 loss in Hamburg. This happened despite Sebastian Hoeneß making significant changes to his starting lineup.

His statement after the game caused a stir: "We currently only have one striker, and that's Deniz," Hoeneß is quoted by 'Bild'. He later added diplomatically: "Silas is a winger. Silas doesn't feel completely comfortable there. Silas needs to play on the side."

Why was he still not in the squad? "We have many players on the wings. Such situations are not pleasant for coaches and players."

The situation for Silas is so unpleasant that a departure from Stuttgart in the winter could be possible. The outcome is open.
