Optimistically the news at Germany.

Gordie Herbert’s team prepares for the Mundobasket quarterfinal against Latvia (6/9, 11:45), looking to continue her march towards the medal zone. In fact, it is very likely that she will have him available to her again Franz Wagner.

The star of the team and of Orlando Magic he injured his ankle in his premiere World basketball, and has not played in any games since then, and has not participated in the regular training schedule. Nevertheless, his condition improved, since on Tuesday (5/9) he took part normally even in the training “double” of the team!

This does not mean, however, that he will be ready against Latvia. Herbert emphasized that his participation or not will be determined by his condition before the match, pointing out: “We haven’t decided yet. If Franz does well in training, we will make the decision. It is important to have either Schroeder or Franz on the pitch, if both are fit.”
