He was set to leave in the summer, but Stuttgart striker makes his comeback

He was actually written off, but now he's back! According to 'kicker', Stuttgart's winger is on the verge of making it back into the squad after about half a year of injury-related forced break.

Silas, who broke his ankle at the beginning of the year, was supposed to be transferred in the summer. However, according to 'kicker', interest from other clubs was lacking, and the eight million euros transfer fee demanded by VfB did not make the player particularly desirable for other teams—especially since the 26-year-old could only dream of a comeback on the field at that time.

But contrary to expectations that Silas—whose contract expires next summer—would be sidelined and instead wait for the winter transfer window, he is now making a comeback.

As reported by 'kicker', Stuttgart's coach Sebastian Hoeneß has also recently spoken positively about Silas. His development is "encouraging." Silas has been in full team training for two weeks and is further along than Hoeneß had expected. He played in a test match during the international break, and Stuttgart has a renewed need for his position after Demirović's prolonged injury. Hoeneß stated that Silas could help VfB with his skills, and he will see how things look after further good training sessions.

However, an appearance in tomorrow's Bundesliga match in Wolfsburg is not yet an option, the coach added.
