The Bayer 04 players were put through their paces at the Werkstatt – the club’s rehabilitation and training centre – on Sunday as they completed the first and main part of this year’s performance diagnostics. New signings Mark Flekken, Ibrahim Maza and Axel Tape, as well as players returning from their holidays, all did the customary medical and athletic tests.

Lukas Hradecky was among the first small group through the door on Sunday morning, returning after his well-deserved downtime. Maza has already trained with some of his new teammates in recent days.

The players completed orthopaedic examinations, a jump analysis, spiroergometry on the treadmill and other tests in small groups throughout the day at the Werkstatt.
