Malik Tillman News: Returns in starting squad

Tillman (strain) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Bremen.

Tillman was a late call for Saturday's match but managed to prove his fitness in time to claim a spot in the starting XI. He resumed training late in the week and did enough in Friday's session to convince the staff he was ready. His inclusion from kickoff suggests the team is confident in his condition despite the initial doubt and also that the american will hold a big role under coach Erik Ten Hag.
