Trainer Steffen Baumgart noted that although Choupo-Moting is a talented striker, he has been on a hiatus for several months and might not be prepared to make an immediate impact. The club might contemplate making a signing during the winter transfer window if Glatzel's absence results in a substantial decline in quality.
