Füchse nearing full strength
Berlin coach Jaron Sioewert was a happy man after two of his star players made their comebacks.
German international Fabian Wiede and Spanish defender Viran Morros returned from injury, and while they didn’t make the biggest impact they will add to the team’s depth as they return to full fitness and form.
