Wolfsburg forward Jonas Wind has received praise from head coach Paul Simonis as he continues his recovery from a muscle injury.
The Danish striker played the first 45 minutes in Wolfsburg’s recent 1-2 friendly defeat to SC Paderborn, scoring a header and earning accolades from Simonis.
"We all see Jonas’s qualities. He’s a really intelligent striker. On the ball, he’s the best of the three we have," Simonis stated.
"He can hold onto the ball, he always finds his teammates, and he always keeps an overview, so he never gets stressed." However, Simonis noted that Wind still has a considerable way to go in terms of fitness.
"He still has a lot of work to do, because this is not yet the level we want to reach," he said.
"In that regard, Dženan (Pejcinovic) is far ahead. But that’s logical when you haven’t played for such a long time." Pejcinovic recently scored on his debut for Germany’s U21 national team against Albania, and he has started Wolfsburg’s first two league games this season.
