THE FUSE

The return of the reigning Bundesliga Rookie of the Season is a vital development for Die Roten Bullen as they look to build on last year's third-place finish. Diomande was instrumental in securing the club's return to the UEFA Champions League, delivering an impressive return of 12 goals and eight assists in 33 league appearances. His presence in the training camp signals a return to normality for a player who has dominated headlines across Europe throughout the summer transfer window.
