Overview

• Patrick Sussek returned from a three‑week muscle injury and came off the bench to record a goal and an assist in MSV Duisburg’s 2-1 home win over ngoIngolstadt 04.
• He stated he would like to start at 1. FC Saarbrücken on Tuesday evening at the Ludwigsparkstadion.
• Coach Dietmar Hirsch said he will decide Sussek’s role after consulting team doctors, physiotherapists, and the player.
• Hirsch clarified that medical staff had completely prohibited Sussek’s involvement in the previous match at TSV Havelse, countering any notion that a fit player was left out.
• Duisburg reported no new personnel changes over the weekend, leaving the same squad available as for the Ingolstadt game.
