Ruhnert comments on Timo Baumgartl’s rehabilitation plan
1. FC Union Berlin is currently waiting for Timo Baumgartl to return. At number 25 of the Irons, a testicular tumor was found about three months ago, which required chemotherapy. Things are slowly improving, but neither the capital club nor Baumgartl themselves want to be rushed.
The central defender had already stated last week that that he had started to walk. Union managing director Oliver Ruhnert is now leaning with another positive statement, but continued to urge patience.
“We are basically waiting for the final clearance from the doctors. The final exam is at the end of July. Then we are optimistic that he might be able to continue his rehab with us at the beginning of August, ”said the 50-year-old loudly picture.
Baumgartl gets another vacation
Ruhnert continues: “Timo is privately in the process of improving. He is already training individually in various areas. He’s in Stuttgart at the moment.” The 26-year-old will get another vacation to clear his head. A private trainer comes along: “That we do him good. That’s just the thing for him after the time.”
Ruhnert did not want to provide an exact prognosis as to when Baumgartl can be expected again. Consciously, since the player’s well-being always comes first: “How long it lasts and how it goes on with such an illness would be speculation. We should be happy that things are looking up.”
