Timetable for Angelo Stiller's events or occasions
VfB Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller is making progress in his recovery from a left ankle lateral ligament tear, but the interim coach, Sebastian Hoeneß, has confirmed that Stiller is not yet ready to play[1]. The injury occurred on July 31, 2025, during training at Tegernsee[2].
Despite the setback, Stiller was spotted with a more relaxed expression during the friendly match against FC Toulouse, indicating some improvement in his condition[4]. Meanwhile, Stiller's replacement on the team has yet to be officially announced[5].
In the meantime, Yannik Keitel and Nikolas Nartey have been getting minutes in central midfield and will be under close scrutiny in the coming weeks as Stiller is out[6]. Nartey, who has been plagued by injuries in the past, looked lively and on his way to full fitness during the friendly match against FC Toulouse[7]. The friendly match ended in a convincing 6:0 victory for VfB Stuttgart[8].
The exact timeline for Stiller's return to the field depends on his training progress[2]. While the Supercup game against FC Bayern on August 16 is not yet ruled out for Stiller, his participation is uncertain and will be decided close to the date[1].
Meanwhile, Mainz forward Jonathan Burkardt has been called up as a temporary replacement for Stiller in Germany's national squad for upcoming matches[3]. This indicates that Burkardt could be a potential replacement for Stiller in the club level, although no official announcement has been made yet.
As Stiller continues his recovery, the focus remains on his progress and the team's preparations for the upcoming season. The hope is for Stiller to be fit for the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup match against Bayern Munich on August 16, but his participation is uncertain and will be decided close to the date.
Football, particularly European leagues, will be closely monitoring Angelo Stiller's progress as he recovers from a left ankle injury. Evidently, Stiller was expected to return to the pitch for VfB Stuttgart, but his participation in the Supercup game against FC Bayern on August 16 is uncertain due to his ongoing recovery.
