Salihovic out for Stuttgart clash

The 25 year old has been plagued with groin problems since suffering a hernia almost a year ago; an injury for which Salihovic underwent an operation in Berlin performed by Dr. Jens Krüger. The Bosnian international will miss the final game of 2009 against VfB Stuttgart this Saturday. It is hoped that he will be able to return to full team training in time for the second half of the season.
