Lukas Podolski is ready for action! FC Koln’s striker was injured for 3 weeks and now he can resume his trainings at the club.

The former Bayern Munchen player was unlucky playing 14 matches for Koln and scoring only a goal, but he will get a new chance against Hamburg SV in this weekend in German Bundesliga. Podolski said: “I’m feeling much better again. It’s now up to me to make sure that I return to full match fitness as soon as possible and stay fit. I can probably return to match action this weekend or the following week.”
