BVB injury update
By: Tucker | November 4th, 2008The BVB injury situation has taken a turn for the worse.
Team physician Dr. Markus Braun, confirmed that Mats Hummels will be out for four weeks with a torn ligament in his right ankle. The nineteen year-old German U-21 defender started the Vfl match but was replaced by Robert Kovac at the break after suffering the injury. Unfortunately BVB will additionally be without Alexander Frei for two weeks with a similar injury. Like Mats Hummels, the Swiss international started the Vfl match but was substituted with nineteen minutes remaining.
If their is a reason for optimism, it is that Jakub Blaszczykowski’s surgery to repair a broken nose was successful. The tough-as-nails Polish international hasn’t missed anytime and Jürgen Klopp is hopeful that he will be available for the weekends tilt against Hamburger SV. Given Kuba’s past history is dealing with pain it will take quite an effort to keep him out of the lineup.

Oh no! Poor Mats! I was really upset when Bayern let him go, but was also very pleased for him because he deserves playing time. Hopefully this will only be a minor set back and he’ll be up and playing again in no time.

You are right, he’s a good one but I think he was better served to be out of Bayern. Good luck against Schalke this week, mostly so I can annoy their blogger – jajaja

Yeah, I agree. It was a better move for him to be away from Bayern. I just didn’t want to see him go.
Thanks! I’m looking forward to the match, hopefully Bayern will carry their winning momentum into that game as well. It would be nice!
