BERLIN: With Wolfsburg safely into the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Netherlands striker Bas Dost is desperate to be involved as he plots his comeback from the fractured foot he suffered in January.
Having scored seven goals in the first half of the season, Dost has been sidelined since the fracture picked up during Wolfsburg's winter training camp in Lagos, Portugal.
He missed both legs of Wolfsburg's last 16 clash against Belgium's Gent after the German club had reached the knockout stages for the first time in their history.
But now the 26-year-old hopes to make his return against Bayer Leverkusen on April 1 having taken part in Wolfsburg training on Tuesday for the first time since his injury.
"Of course, I'd like to play this weekend (against Darmstadt), but I don't think I'll manage that," Dost told Sky.
"The weekend afterwards is an international window and then there's the Leverkusen game -- I must manage that."
Wolfsburg will learn on Friday who they will face in the last 16 of the Champions League when the draw is made in Nyon on Friday with the first leg to be played on April 5/6 with the return on 12/13."
