Wednesday’s session was new signing Christian Gomis’ first as a Royal Blue. The 25-year-old attacker joined the club on Monday (1/9) from FC Winterthur and was in full training two days later.

Hasan Kuruçay and Emil Højlund were both missing from training on Wednesday. After starting Sunday’s 1-0 win at Dynamo Dresden (31/8) with a knock, the pair are now taking a break. Goalkeeper Loris Karius has taken the international break as an opportunity to undergo surgery on his wisdom teeth.

Meanwhile, Nikola Katic, Moussa Sylla and Vitalie Becker are all away on international duty. Katic and Bosnia-Herzegovina have two World Cup qualifiers coming up, the first of which on Saturday (6/9) in San Marino. Sylla and Mali face Comoros on Thursday (4/9), also in a World Cup qualifier. Becker and Germany U20s play Switzerland on Friday (5/9).
