The Abcoudenaar has been struggling with a knee injury since the end of last month, as a result of which he was missing last week during the Champions League match with Internazionale and in the league match against Hertha BSC. Nagelsmann thinks that Tuesday’s home game against Werder Bremen is still too early for De Ligt, but he is expected to be back next Saturday in Gelsenkirchen against Schalke 04.
