Option off bench
da Costa (head) is on the bench for Saturday's season finale against Heidenheim.
Analysis: da Costa returned to full contact training Friday after being restricted to non-contact sessions throughout the week following the head injury that forced him off after just 15 minutes of last Sunday's clash against Union Berlin. Coach Urs Fischer had offered a cautiously optimistic assessment, noting nothing serious had emerged, and the coaching and medical staff cleared him for a place in the squad after consulting ahead of the final fixture. The club opted to manage his return carefully with a bench role rather than throwing him straight back into the starting lineup given the nature of the injury.
Off early with head injury
da Costa was forced off in the first half of Sunday's match against Union Berlin due to a head injury.
Analysis: da Costa left the match in the 16th minute after suffering the head injury after an early challenge. The defender was repalced by Kacper Potulski who would likely enter the starting XI for next week's season finale at Heidenheim if da Costa is out.
