🎙️ Will he be back on the pitch soon? Hoeneß on Demirovic’s return | OneFootball

Since the beginning of October, VfB striker Ermedin Demirovic has been absent from Stuttgart due to a stress fracture in his metatarsal.

Thanks to the current good form of his teammate Deniz Undav, the club isn't overly troubled by his absence, yet many fans are wondering when the 27-year-old will be able to return to the field.

In early November, the striker himself announced that he aims to be fully fit again by December at the latest.

According to ‘Bild’, Demirovic is working daily on his comeback at VfB's rehab center. Coach Sebastian Hoeneß commented on the potential return date of the striker ahead of the match against Borussia Dortmund, as reported by ‘Bild’ newspaper: “Medo is eager and wants to come back quickly. He has good healing tissue, as he has shown before. We hope it goes quickly."

However, Hoeneß has ruled out a rapid return and is tempering expectations. Patience is required, and he needs to be given time to fully recover. Hoeneß advises calmness, and it remains unclear when exactly Demirovic will be available for Stuttgart again.
