Worry for VfB! Stuttgart player returns injured from Germany duty

VfB Stuttgart have to cope with an injured player during the international break. Nikolas Nartey returned early from the Danish national team due to muscular problems. The Swabians announced this on Monday lunchtime.

The 26-year-old was already absent on Sunday evening for the Nations League match against Wales. Against Portugal, however, in a 2-4 defeat, he came on for ten minutes in his second international appearance.

The versatile midfielder has repeatedly been set back by health problems in recent years. This season too, he has only managed brief appearances for VfB due to a thigh muscle injury. Whether he will be fit for Stuttgart’s match at SC Paderborn on Saturday (15:30) is doubtful.
