Has his career stagnated or is he slowly improving??
You'd hope not, but he did have a a disappointing return from injury earlier this year at Jahn-Rensberg - after starring somewhat season 21/22 before his groin injury. Didn't help they were fairly shark & got relegated.
Maybe he's just struggling to get back to where he was after that nagging Osteitis Pubis. It's very early days at his new club, and at least they are winning, unlike J-R. I don't know much about Germany, but maybe there is also an off the field adjustment, going from Bavaria where he had spent all his time previously to Rostock in the old East Germany.
I'm just hoping he's available for AWs against Socceroos in October. If the AWs are ever to be a threat to higher ranked teams this WC cycle, he needs to be playing.
