Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) – The Japanese World Cup participants Wataru Endo and Hiroki Ito started training again for the Bundesliga soccer club VfB Stuttgart on Thursday. Before that, the two players completed the obligatory performance tests. When the Croatian World Cup driver Borna Sosa will return to the Swabians’ training operations is still to be agreed. Chris Führich, who used the World Cup break for two surgeries, trained individually on Thursday.
Next Monday, VfB will travel to the training camp in Marbella, Spain. Two friendlies against FC Sion (January 8) and Sparta Prague (January 12) are on the program there.
Endo and Ito had failed with Japan at the Winter World Cup in Qatar in the round of 16 because of Sosa’s Croatians. After their semi-final defeat against eventual world champions Argentina, they took third place.
