Ghanaian midfielder Gideon Jung will return from injury for German side Greuther Furth this weekend after spending five months on the sidelines because on injury, Ghanasoccernet.com can reveal.

The Bundesliga side can again rely on the services of the utility player who was expected to play a key role for the club before the injury struck.

His protracted meniscus injury (including surgery, absence of more than five months) will no longer slow down the defensive man who can also play in central midfield.

This was assured by Furth head coach Stefan Leitl on Friday before the upcoming encounter with VfL Wolfsburg on Sunday.

“Gideon is one of those players who still had slight problems. For reasons of load control, it made more sense for him not to let him play against Ingolstadt," said the trainer, explaining why the 27-year-old was not there in last week's friendly.

Now Jung is basically ready again. "He's in training and therefore also an option for the game on Sunday," Leitl continued, making one restriction: "Of course not from the start, but on the bench."
