Crash and Comeback: Muller's Potential Return for Heidenheim
Indicating a Potential Resurgence for Mueller: A Swift Turn of Events? - Fast-paced return of Müller following intense theatrics?
The Bundesliga scene swirls with buzz as goalkeeper Kevin Muller eyes a swift return to action for relegation-tussling 1. FC Heidenheim. While recovering from a severe concussion, Muller has shown signs of improvement, and coach Frank Schmidt hints at light training sessions on the horizon[4]. With a possible return in the final Bundesliga clash against Werder Bremen on May 17, and a chance in potential playoff games looming, it seems the odds are stacked in Muller's favor[1][2].
Yet, Fred Feller will don the gloves during the penultimate game against 1. FC Union Berlin this Saturday (15:30 CET, Sky)[2]. Heidenheim gun for a win to secure a playoff spot[2].
The collision that blemished Muller's performance occurred against VfL Bochum, causing him to lose consciousness and be taken to the hospital[3]. Despite the grim incident, Muller returned home on Monday after medical treatment[3].
Upon checking on Muller's rival Philipp Hofmann, who sustained a broken rib causing a collapsed lung in the same game[5], Schmidt paid a visit to the hospital, expressing solidarity for his acquaintance and showing compassion[4].
The last two games have become the nail-biting deciders for Heidenheim[2]. Depending on the outcome of Heidenheim's match and Holstein Kiel's against SC Freiburg, Heidenheim could secure the 16th playoff spot[2]. If successful, the playoff would involve two decisive games against the second division's third-placed team[1].
