Return within two weeks Wagner (undisclosed) is set to return within the next two weeks, according to manager Alexander Blessin. "Robert will not be an issue in the next two weeks."

Impact Wagner is set to return soon, with that timeframe now being slimmed down to the next two weeks. This is solid news for both the club and the player, as he has missed six games with the issue and is a solid rotational player when fit.

However, he did fall to the bench in his last three appearances, earning the start in five of his eight appearances.
