Yurchenko returns to full training
Vladlen Yurchenko has been sidelined for two months. That period has finally come to an end. The 24-year-old Ukrainian returned to the training ground this week alongside the rest of the Werkself squad.
As a precaution, the Ukraine international did not take part in the practice match at the end of the session. He was able to take some part in the previous day's training in the afternoon. "Fortunately, I don't have any problems now. I'm just very happy and I'm glad to be back on the pitch with the lads," said Yurchenko. The Ukrainian picked up a foot injury in training on 21 November.
In addition to Yurchenko, Marlon Fry also took part in training after a stomach muscle problem prevented him playing in the friendly against RW Oberhausen (3-1).
