VfB Stuttgart eases worries over Angelo Stiller injury

VfB Stuttgart can breathe easier: according to kicker, Angelo Stiller picked up discomfort during the Bundesliga trip to Hoffenheim, but the club’s update rules out anything serious.

In the match that ended 1-2, the midfielder had to sit out for a long spell as the team coped without him. Now the diagnosis is in, and the picture is much calmer than first feared.

Medical update brings relief

As kicker reports, Stiller’s issue turned out to be just a contusion (a bruise). That means the odds of a lengthy absence drop sharply and VfB can plan the next steps with more confidence.

From a sporting point of view, it’s a useful boost: a missing midfielder affects how you control tempo and build play, especially in away games. The remaining question is simply how quickly he returns to full training.
