Riether has been out with a thigh injury and missed last week’s 2-0 Bundesliga loss against Borussia Dortmund.
“I’m on my way back to full health again. I hope that I can return to full team training in the next couple of days and then we’ll see if I’ll be fit for Saturday. I am quite optimistic though,” said Riether on the official Wolfsburg website.
Wolfsburg are set to face Hannover in the Bundesliga next weekend.
Riether said: “Sure, they have started the season very well and we are under pressure after our poor start. With the support of our fans, however, we must be able win this derby. Only a win counts against Hannover.”
