INJURIES Thomas Delaney's collarbone fracture has fully recovered. Coach Brian Riemer told that at his press conference yesterday afternoon. "Physically, he is completely ready for the next game," Riemer said. Whether Delaney will play tomorrow is not yet certain. Riemer wants to be sure that he also feels mentally ready and will not hold back.


"Delaney is fit again. This week he underwent a check-up. There it was confirmed that his bone has healed perfectly. Now he has to get used to everything again, but the past three days he has been training fully with the team.

"Whether he will not hold back after such an injury? "He is a grown man. I am sure he will express how he feels. I will talk to him about it after training. Should he still not feel ready for tomorrow, he will be ready for the next game. It is indeed more of a mental issue now than a physical one."

"It's amazing how quickly Thomas has recovered from that fracture. As I said last week, we used new technology to speed up the recovery process. 24 hours a day, seven days a week he had a special machine on his bone that accelerated the mending process by 25 percent."
