Max Kruse (34) is never really gone from Wolfsburg.
Although the suspended cult striker is currently unable to train with a muscle injury and is not in Lower Saxony at all, it remains omnipresent. The ex-national player (14 games/4 goals) regularly provides his fans with Kruse news via Instagram and YouTube.
But now he is also physically drawn back to his employer VfL. Last year’s Olympic participant travels from Berlin on Friday to be examined on site and to have his rehabilitation progress assessed.
Kruse back in Wolfsburg
He’s only been back in Germany since Thursday anyway. Before that, he spent four days in sunny Antalya (Turkey) with his wife Dilara. To take a vacation and do his rehab exercises.
With an optimal healing process, the gambler fan might be back on the training ground at the end of the month. There’s nothing more for him under head coach Niko Kovac (50) anyway.
From January Kruse also wants to deal with his sporty future. His VfL contract runs until the summer of 2023. He rejects an early termination.
At the end of his career, Kruse dreams of America. Maybe already in winter? Most recently, Los Angeles FC publicly flirted with the social media star.
