Mattias Svanberg

Svanberg (calf) is fit again and has been cleared of his injury, according to manager Dieter Hecking. "Apart from the really prolonged absences, everyone has reported back in training - Svanberg, Muller, and Lindstrom. That means everyone's fit again, and it allows me to have more options to choose from."

Analysis: Svanberg has been sidelined but is ending the injury absence, as the midfielder was back in training and has returned to full fitness. The club will gain back some depth in the midfield with his addition, a good sign after a season with a long injury list. He has only started in seven of his 21 appearances this season, likely to remain in his depth role.

Still in running work

Svanberg is back in running training and making progress in his recovery from a calf muscle fiber tear, but is unlikely to be available in the upcoming fixtures, according to AZ/WAZ.

Analysis: Svanberg has been working his way back step by step and the progress is encouraging, but the Wolfsburg medical staff are not yet ready to push him back into competitive action with the next fixtures coming too soon for the midfielder. His return to running is a positive step in the right direction, and the club will continue to monitor his progress over the coming days.
