After a cascade of injuries, Xabi Alonso jokes about his possible return to the field

For Tuesday’s meeting, the German champion will notably be deprived of Victor Boniface (thigh muscle injury), wingers Amine Adli (left fibula fracture), Jonas Hofmann (right thigh) and, most recently on Saturday, Martin Terrier (fracture of the right forearm). “There are no new injuries, for the momentreassured Alonso. We hope there won’t be any bad news tomorrow (after the match against Salzburg) ». To compensate for these absences, the coach had to draw on the youth teams, with four U18s, and even a 16-year-old, Andrea Natali.
