Alexander Prass could make his comeback in the first round of the UEFA Europa League.

Having yet to make an appearance this season, he could now play for his Hoffenheim side for the first time on Thursday against OFI Crete (6:45 PM in the LIVE ticker>>>).

Recently, he was "a few percent" short

Hoffenheim coach Christian Ilzer says before the match that his team has travelled with a "full squad". Thus, all players should be available.

Last weekend, Prass, who suffered a muscle injury in the adductor area in August, was already "very close" to a comeback, according to Ilzer. At that time, he was still "a few percent" short.

The comeback would come at the right time for Prass, as the Upper Austrian was nominated by Ralf Rangnick for the upcoming Nations League matches.
