FC Red Bull Salzburg's injury list has recently become smaller again. There will also be relief with regard to the championship round starting on March 30. Sports boss Rouven Schröder gives a brief outlook on which players will soon be available again. 

Salzburg ended the basic round of the Bundesliga with a 1:0 home win against WAC. As a result, the Bulls go into the championship group in third place. The match schedule for the title fight will be announced on Monday afternoon. One thing is already certain: the team from Mozartstadt can hope to have one or two players back in time for the start on March 30. 

"Would be important for us"
This includes Karim Onisiwo, who has recently been suffering from adductor problems. The striker, who celebrated his 33rd birthday on Monday, worked individually on his comeback during team training. He should be ready for action again in just under two weeks. "That would be important for us, also in the box. We need him there," said Rouven Schröder.

The Bulls can also plan to have central defender Hendry Blank back in normal circumstances. The German last appeared on the pitch on February 15 against WSG Tirol (1:1) due to a thigh injury. Yorbe Vertessen, who was substituted after taking a knock on the knee against the WAC, is not a concern for the Mozartstädter. 

The long-term injured Maurits Kjaergaard (ankle), Karim Konate (cruciate ligament rupture) and Takumu Kawamura (shoulder) are not expected to return for the start of the title match. "No," said Schröder succinctly.
