Coach Oliver Glasner gave the all-clear for the 22-year-old after the Rhein-Main derby at FSV Mainz 05 (2-2) at the end of the Bundesliga season. Ndicka was injured and substituted in the middle of the second half. "It's nothing serious. He had blisters on his feet and a bit of pain in training," reported Glasner after the final whistle. The substitution was purely a precautionary measure.
In the duel with the Scottish runners-up next Wednesday in Seville, the
Hessians hope are also hoping for the return of offensive player Jesper Lindström. The Dane suffered a thigh injury in Frankfurt's semi-final first leg win at West Ham United. "It's looking pretty good. Everything is going according to plan," said Glasner. Lindstrom is scheduled to start training again on Sunday.
