Thomas Ebner is on his way back

Warm-up, pass-practice, maintain ball possession - the first steps of Thomas Ebner coming back into the team training - for him personally a very important step, "I feel much better than a few weeks ago. The plan is to gradually increase my time in the team training," says Ebner.

An inflammation in the adductor forced the defensive midfielder to departure early from the winter training camp in Belek. This was followed by intensive rehab training. Ebner has been training individually on the pitch almost every day for about a month, together with physiotherapist Florian Metz. After runs and quick changes of direction, the first short, then long and high passes were part of his comeback. Now the firing speed is gradually being increased.

Great progress in the last weeks

"Over the past three to four weeks, we have seen great progress. We also see more and more that he feels comfortable on the pitch again, moving more dynamically and in more controlled ways," explains Metz. Before and after the individual training out in the field Ebner puts in extra hours, trains a lot in the gym, primarily strengthening his trunk. His stability is meticulously checked every day during the squeeze test and his progress is being documented. The development clearly shows an upward trend. "I put in even more effort than I do during the normal training, I spend a lot of time working on my comeback. I want to help the team as soon as possible," emphasizes Thomas Ebner.
