Leonidas Stergiou returned from a syndesmosis surgery and feels more than fully fit, though faces stiff competition for his position.

Dan-Axel Zagadou is being carefully reintroduced due to past injuries, with further U21 matches likely before full first-team minutes.

Silas Katompa recovered well from an ankle injury and may soon rejoin the attack amid current offensive squad needs.

Justin Diehl made his professional comeback in a recent friendly and is set to be an option on the wing in coming weeks.

We have to gradually integrate him. He is probably not at 100 percent.
