Schwarz gives updates on Plattenhardt and Maolida
Hertha BSC trainer Sandro Schwarz revealed that captain Marvin Plattenhardt and left-flank attacker Myziane Maolida both remained in individualized training ahead of Friday's clash with Gladbach.

Schwarz revealed in a Wednesday presser that Maolida remains "a little further ahead" than Plattenhardt in the reintegration into full team training, and thereby might stand a better chance of starting over Saturday/s replacement Chidera Ejuke. Plattenhardt--the team's talismanic set-piece taker--will race against time in the hopes of taking over from Maximilian Mittelstädt.
Gladbach themselves will be hoping to get their own captain back in time for Friday's round three curtain-raise. At a presser yesterday, BMG head-coach Daniel Farke noted that squad skipper Lars Stindl had returned to light training on Tuesday and might be able to return to the pitch by Friday night.
At today's press conference, Farke revealed that Stindl had rejoined team training.
