"I'm heading into the second half of the season with renewed energy." I'm looking to make best use of the nest few weeks and continuously improve," Badstuber said. "So I recover the level I'd like to have. But I know I'll have to work hard for that.
Badstuber participated in dribbling, passing, heading, shooting, and sprinting drills with fitness coach Dr. Holger Broich keeping an eye on him. The club will hold their first official training session of 2015 on Wednesday.
His performances at the beginning of the Hinrunde were wonderful sign following the 20 months he missed with two different ACL surgeries. Badstuber showed that he's going to challenge the centerback hierarchy for playing time once he's fully fit.
