FreiburgActive off bench in Europa loss
Rosenfelder (hamstring) took one shot (one on goal) in 29 minutes as a substitute during Wednesday's UEFA Europa League final loss to Aston Villa.
Analysis: Rosenfelder bounced back to the squad at the very end of the season after missing over three months due to his injury, and he took Philipp Lienhart's place in the second half of the European final. The 23-year-old saw his involvement largely limited by physical issues throughout the campaign, finishing with 35 clearances, 11 tackles and seven interceptions over 16 matches played (six starts) counting Bundesliga and UEL action.
Back in full team training
Rosenfelder (hamstring) returned to full team training Wednesday and could be an option for Thursday's cup clash against Stuttgart, according to coach Julian Schuster. "Rosenfelder has returned to full training today."
Analysis: Rosenfelder's return to full training is an encouraging development after he was initially facing several weeks on the sideline following the hamstring injury he sustained against Hoffenheim. The center-back had been operating in a rotational role before the injury, and given the length of his absence, he is likely to be eased back into action gradually rather than thrown straight into a starting role. His return does reduce the runway for Ifechukwu Ogbus, who had been in line for extended minutes while Rosenfelder was sidelined.
