Exequiel Palacios Injury: Fit to face Bremen

Palacios (groin) is an option for Saturday's match against Bremen, according to his club.

Palacios was looking to return in midweek UCL action, but after missing out Tuesday, he is in the squad to face Bremen. This ends a long slide for the midfielder, last appearing Sept. 12 and only playing two games all season due to the injury. He will be set for more of a rotational option for the club and should remain in that role, although the club will gain some depth, with 11 starts in 24 appearances last season, a decent shout for an assist when on the field.
