Stuttgart updates: Millot declared fit for Union, Leweling still out

Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeness confirmed on Thursday that Enzo Millot is fit to face Union Berlin after shaking off a knock. Jamie Leweling, however, remains unavailable.

After picking up a knock in VfB Stuttgart’s mid-week 3-0 win over SSV Jahn Regensburg in the DFB-Pokal, Enzo Millot has been passed fit for the upcoming Bundesliga home game against Union Berlin.

“He is available and has no restrictions,” Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeness confirmed at a press conference on Thursday.

He also revealed that Jamie Leweling, despite making progress in his recovery from injury, isn’t quite ready for action yet.

“The game comes too early for Jamie. He won’t be available tomorrow. We want to play it safe and make sure he remains stable.”

Other Stuttgart absentees include Dan-Axel Zagadou, Luca Raimund, El Bilal Touré, Deniz Undav and Ameen Al Dakhil.

As for Undav, Hoeness said he remains hopeful of his return before the turn of the year.

“He is in the middle of the rehabilitation process, which is going well. That prognosis has not changed. If things continue like this, there’s every chance he’ll be on the pitch this year,” said the Stuttgart coach.

Stuttgart’s match against Union Berlin kicks off at 20:30 CET on Friday.
