Marbella (dpa / lsw) – Midfielder Atakan Karazor started training with Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart two days late. The 26-year-old completed a running session at the training camp in Marbella, Spain, due to Achilles tendon problems, a club spokesman confirmed on Wednesday. Chris Führich, who had two operations during the World Cup break, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Samuele di Benedetto, Laurin Ulrich, Tanguy Coulibaly and Ömer Beyaz only trained individually or sometimes sat out completely.

It is not yet certain when world championship driver Borna Sosa will arrive. The left-back, who finished third with Croatia at the tournament in Qatar, will initially work individually.
