Head coach Kovac has delivered a squad update on Karetsas and cautioned his team about the attacking threat posed by Niclas Füllkrug ahead of the upcoming fixture against Werder Bremen.
The manager addressed the media on Monday, confirming the latest status regarding Karetsas while emphasizing the need for defensive vigilance against the experienced German international striker.
Werder Bremen, currently competing in the Bundesliga, will host the match at their home ground. Füllkrug, who has previously played for the club, remains a key offensive weapon for the opposition.
Kovac's remarks suggest tactical preparations are focused on containing the forward's aerial ability and positioning inside the penalty area.
