Jean-Luc Dompe

Dompe is still building his competitive fitness as he is not yet at 100%, coach Merlin Polzin said in a press conference. "With Jean-Luc, he was still suffering from his injury and was not, and still is not, at 100% fitness. So we wanted to take advantage of the first week of the international break to prepare him. He will gradually increase his workload. Being at 100% is extremely important for him and his duels. We all know this, which is why we want to train him so that he can play at 100% for as long as possible, and not just during certain periods."

Dompe (ankle) featured in Sunday's 0-0 draw in the season opener against Gladbach, confirming his return from injury.

Dompe (ankle) is back in team training ahead of Sunday's match against Monchengladbach, according to his new club.

Dompe (ankle) isn't in the match squad for the Cup game this weekend but could be an option for next Sunday's season opener against Borussia Monchengladbach, coach Merlin Polzin said in a press conference. "Dompe, Poulsen, Jatta, and Pherai will not be available this weekend, but all other players are ready. Baka and Manu will still need time after the Cup, but for the other two, being available for the start of the championship in Gladbach could already be an option."

Dompe suffered an ankle injury in training earlier this month but could be back for the season opener against Borussia Monchengladbach, coach Merlin Polzin told the media, according to BILD. "Gladbach is clearly the plan. Jean-Luc would then be well ahead of schedule."
